Ukrainian Easter Egg: Pysanka! And Happy Easter from Ukraine!

💖Anna is Top💖

[@eamonnclabby7067]

Correct..❤❤

[@denisedavies5859]

I was overcome with emotion when I listened to your closing comments. Nobody in the civilised world wants to witness another Easter like this one. As a Christian country, Russia should be truly ashamed. There is no place in Heaven or Hell for the aggressors. Happy Easter Anna. Slava Ukraine 💙💛🇺🇦🇬🇧💙💛

[@AnnafromUkraine]

Thank you 🙏

Nice one ,Denise..❤❤

[@ericvantassell6809]

what makes you think russia has been a christian country in the last 110 years?

[@nevillec5252]

I don't know if the pope has jurisdiction over Russian Orthodox Church members, but if he does, he should excommunicate putin.

[@joe_ninety_one5076]

Russia is very far from a Christian country. I'm virtually atheist but possibly a lot more Christian than the Russian Orthodox Church. To begin with, I don't have a patron saint of long range nuclear bombers, symbols of mass human incineration. I don't have a military cathedral full of martial symbolism somewhere near Moscow that no self-respecting Christian would be proud to show off to a resurrected Messiah. I don't follow a warmongering archbishop who glorifies the murder of Ukrainians. I am quite comfortable with the idea that Jesus Christ existed and by all accounts led an exemplary life. I think that the Russian Orthodox Church has no more empathy with his life and teaching than a dog has with the works of Albert Einstein.

[@ericcox6764]

That was absolutely beautiful Anna! The detail on those eggs was amazing. And yes PLEASE! Show us how you celebrate Easter! 💙💛💙💛

[@jeannewatkins4074]

Yes, please, Anna. The eggs are phenomenal. There are Ukrainians in the US that make them and some are making them as fundraising for Ukraine. Unfortunately they are all sold out. I will keep looking.

Dear Anna, Happy Easter! That peace for Ukraine may come as soon as possible - without any r u Z Z i a n s on Ukrainian soil!!! ❤🇺🇦 The Pope said right now: "...Help the beloved Ukrainian people on the way to peace. Spread the easterly light on the russian people..." Amen!! 🙏 Papa Francesco ❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇦 CIVILIZED🌏❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇦

[@forgotten_world]

The Pysankas mostly disappeared from Ukraine, when the soviets prohibited them. After 1991, artisans from Ukrainian communities around the world returned to Ukraine to bring the technique and tradition back to the country, including a famous artisan family from Brazil. Happy Easter, respect and support from Brazil.

As a child, Easter was always about decorating eggs, eating chocolate eggs and enjoying the spring. I can remember the first time I saw Ukrainian decorated eggs and was amazed by the detail. They are truly a work of art ! Thankyou for sharing the Pysanka, it has brought may pleasant memories. I would be interested in you showing the basics in creating them. Have a safe Easter ! Slava Ukraini !

Pysanki is to me one of the most fascinating aspects of Ukrainian culture......the designs and the colors used have a great deal of meaning. Pysanki connects Ukrainians alive today to their ancient roots which go back thousands of years. Slava Ukrainia!

[@dawnandy7777]

My Ukrainian diaspora neighbours had a bowl of pysanky eggs that were on display all year. I was always impressed by their beauty and still remember them many decades later. I also remember the egg-cracking game that was played on Easter. The adults took it seriously, it was a lot of fun. Perhaps you can demonstrate it to the world next week? Bless you this Easter, peace to Ukraine, and Slava Ukrayini 🧔⬆⛪

[@brianpercival1829]

We have an egg from Ukraine in a china hutch. Nearly 100 years old. It was given by someone who came from Ukraine to my Mom for her 13th birthday. My Mom passsed away in May 2010 at 84. It sits on a wooden egg stand with my moms name and date and age of her birthday. The painting is so elegant done by an artist of great talent. Some reds and greens and could be a Christmas Egg also. I think yellow and blue reminds me of Ukraine. I love videos where you take us to museums and art galleries. I can see all the talented artisans on display and wonder if they are still alive. I think of what art was stolen from us with children that could have become artisans. What talent in painting, sculpting and music we will never see or hear. How many museums and art galleries were destroyed and we will never see those items again. It would make an interesting video of you painting an egg to see the process. SLAVA UKRAINE

@@AnnafromUkraine Happy Easter to you as well! I know it will be difficult time as I have also lost both parents, but know they will always remain close and cherish the memories that will last a lifetime, and that brighter days are ahead. They want you to thrive and be happy. And now you also have so many new friends all around the world that stand with you (as close as we can - Lol) . Could you have imagined that a few years ago? By the way, in the egg video I was scared that some eggs might drop when you were holding several. But you are so cool - no problem! I have an idea for simple egg design I think you will like. I will show you once I do them. Slava Ukraini!

[@BMPWR]

That was great!!! Thank you very much Anna and Sasha!! I think my favorite designs are leaves, trees, forest items, and animals. My favorite colors in the pysanka's are green, orange, purple, blue, and yellow. Happy Easter this weekend and Happy Easter next weekend!!

Sobbing after your closing comments the contrast of epic irony from dedicated tender natural depictions so lovingly handcrafted with the crushing invasion of evil reminds us of the biblical Jesus on the cross. We desperately look forward to Ukraine's resurrection. Slava Ukraine!! 💙💛 🐦🌅

Pretty eggs. Exquisite work. Thank you for showing them to us.

[@lanamack1558]

Thank you, Anna, for your posts. They are always so informative. The only positive thing that has resulted from this terrible war is that the world has discovered that Ukraine exists. For various reasons I as many other with Ukrainian roots hid my Ukrainian heritage. Now people are actually and sincerely interested in Ukrainian history and culture. You have a significant part in clarifying our history, in debunking the programs of centuries. Thank you for that. Христос воскрес 💙💛 слава Україні 💙💛 героям слава 🇺🇦🇦🇺

[@hctim96]

Wow! a blast from the past for me!! This reminded me of decorating Easter eggs with my Ukrainian Mom and Grand mother (Bubba). Nothing fancy, just liquid wax, a pencil with eraser and a pin with a head on it. Dab the wax, dab on the egg and let it dry. Then color the egg.. Good times.. Thank you for a walk down memory lane...

[@walterstewart1927]

Absolutely splendid vlog!! What an enormous privilege to see that overwhelmingly beautiful art. The eggs you show as more household like also demand an amazing amount of skill. I would love to see what you produce in the week leading up to your Easter. I have an interesting story from my childhood in New York City and New Jersey. We had a friend, Stacy May by name, whose wife was an enormously talented egg painter. Every easter she would paint scenes with little rabbits who were like people doing things on Easter. But they were painted on regular eggs (not "blown" eggs, as they are called when their contents are removed) and so they were not permanent. My father got a woodworker to turn out wood shapes that resembled eggs, and for several years she painted these, and of course they were permanent. My sister must have inherited them, as I have not seen them in decades. Keep up the good work, make sure to get enough rest!! Many thanks for the work you do. Slava Ukraini!! Heroyam slava!! Heroyi ne vmyrayut'!!!

[@rickhill5161]

WOW, Excellent introduction and I call it an "introduction" because I would like to see more. Excellent writing, presentation and the touches of Sasha! Share what you feel on your Easter morning! If your cheeks are wet and your eyes are red that is to be expected. Rich emotions are painful too. ( your voice is very comforting, so where/who did that come from and be thankful ) Slava Ukraini !!

Yellow small chicks, yellow daffodils. Chocolate in different forms like bunnies and eggs. Willow branches with white fluffy catkins which we call pajunkissa, willow's cat.

Pysanka eggs are beautiful Anna, thank you for the art museum tour of the fine decorated Easter eggs!

I'm sure you can do better, you are very modest! 😊 I first read about Pysanka, Ukrainian Easter eggs, in Mother Earth News back in the 70's or early 80's, and was fascinated with their beauty and intricacies.
