    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 💙💛🇺🇦🇬🇧💙💛

      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.

      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.

    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

    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 🧔⬆⛪

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.

    Dab the wax, dab on the egg and let it dry. Then color the egg.. Good times..

Most buy chocolate eggs to give to others. Some go to a funfairs. Some just go and see friends and relatives for a Easter mail. Mostly lamb, but . Which could be anything. In Britain. Mostly laid back. Even though Easter was worshipped before Christmas became the big thing. Beautiful egg paintings.

    Pysanka eggs are beautiful Anna, thank you for the art museum tour of the fine decorated Easter eggs! I tried making my own once, but I lacked a well made wax holder to put the wax resist on the eggs, so the results were messy. 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. You have brought back many good memories, and I hope you have a Happy Ukrainian Easter!! 🐇 🥚 🌄 🌺💐🌻

    Thank you so much, Anna and Sasha, for this beautifully created and well presented video. I'd have been very nervous to not drop the eggs!!! Well done, Anna!
    It's so hard to choose a favourite. I really like delicate starry patterns, and the use of nature, as with the use of plants or depicting plants. The Ostrich egg for its colours, that beautiful blue! And it is such a wonderful masterpiece. Also I really like the carved eggs, a real labour of love; fragile as they are. It must be a real skill to know how to *not* break them while carving into them. I'd love to try doing that! They remind me of the cutwork technique in Ukrainian embroidery. Patience and love going into making each.
    I've watched some videos of children in schools in Ukraine creating their own sweet designs with the warmed wax method.
    These crafts really help to calm the mind. It matters not how "good" one is at any of them, in my opinion, it's about the mental health benefits of just slowing down and being distracted by something harmless... make with gentle hands and patient minds. At least that's what my parents used to say.

    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'!!!

    Wonderful video. Educational and heartfelt. I enjoyed the simplest pysanka with the incredibly vibrant colors. Take care and Happy Easter.

    We always boil onion peels and just simple colours. Or buy those “tubes” where pattern are transfered to the eggs when they are dipped in water.

    When my Ukrainian wife and I used to live in the Ukraine it was a tradition at Easter that people would take one egg and the other would hold an egg and then hit them together and see who would win with The unbroken egg.
