Easter comes to us in the spring. For centuries, it has been customary to paint pysanky for the holiday as souvenirs and talismans for the home and family. The pysanka is a beautiful symbol of rebirth, spring’s blossoming, and the sun—a fusion of beauty, wisdom, goodness, and light.
In the days leading up to Easter, at humanitarian hubs and centers established for residents of the Donetsk region in safe areas of Ukraine, people of all ages from Donetsk are actively participating in pysanka-making workshops, discovering the depth and beauty of Ukrainian traditions.
Participants learn about the patterns and their meanings, study the symbolism, and create their own pysanky.
Both children and adults enthusiastically join the classes, turning the process into a shared creative event.
The atmosphere of the workshops unites and inspires. Participants not only create their own crafts but also feel a connection to their cultural heritage and the support of the community.
