Ukrainian Pysanky Eggs – History

Pysanky (pysanky-plural, pysanka-singular) is derived from a Ukrainian word meaning “to write.” Pysanky are eggs (either whole raw eggs, or hollow) which have been decorated with a wax-resist method where one draws (or “writes,” as Ukrainians would say) those portions of the design which you want to remain the color underneath the wax. A small, hollow funnel attached to a stick is used to heat the wax and write with. This tool is called a kistka.
