@Washington Post • Thanks for this story. I always appreciate the opportunity to see the beauty of these eggs and now I know the story behing them.

Beautiful eggs and the tradition. Thanks
These eggs are so beautiful! What a beautiful story about the Ukrainian people's traditions! My prayers go to all of the brave Ukrainian people! God watch over you and end this war now. !!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Add to that prayer that the monster and all his ilk will be destroyed!
I'm praying for peace !
I've got my fingers crossed.
Thank you so much for sharing! I love them! Happy Easter.
Goodwill people! Joe Biden betrays Ukraine for he refuses to close the sky. Every day brings new victims. FORCE NATO to CLOSE the SKY OVER UKRAINE. This is the only way to stop Putin. Otherwise, you will be the next victim of his aggression! Putin is a WORLDWIDE CRIMINAL but don't be afraid of a nuclear strike from his side - he cannot do it alone, and the top militaries around him have families and want to live. It's just a threat on his part. He uses your fear to prevent military aid to Ukraine. BY NOT CLOSING the SKY OVER Ukraine NATO becomes an ACCOMPLICE of Putin's CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
Beautiful eggs and tradition. Thanks! ♥
Beautiful tradition!

Slava Ukraine😇
Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦💖
I’m starting this week! So excited 😆
I can't believe how intricate, detailed and beautiful they are.❤
So beautiful and so hopeful!
Eggcellant!
Close the sky!
I csr get, eggs.
Butifuil are eggs.
Keept hopping fur voktore.
Lady, you are an artist, when you get f16 ,I hope you have a good supply of fake ones to.
You could land real ones then roll out fake ones and hide or take off in real ones so that selfish thing wastes resorses on fake ones.
You could have 2nd or third generation jet used as bait or distraction in front of f 16 to lure opposition to it and then trounch enemy fighter.
Plenty of fakes so no one, no one knows what is real.
Trow dice to decide where they go.
Have runways look damaged or subpar.
Small planes where pilot sets plane up to confuse putin and they could jump out before attracting attention.
God is with the decent and humble.
Beautiful tradition.
I'm of Ukrainian decent. I used to make these eggs at a small cultural house in Balboa Park , San Diego CA. It was a very fond memory of mine and I always looked forward to going there and making the eggs and talking with the older Ukrainian lady that showed us how to make them. To me there are the most beautiful decorated eggs i have ever seen. They are are beautiful.
❤️🇺🇦❤️
Pray for Ukraine and its people on this Easter Sunday.
Can anyone tell me how to distinguish between a wooden and real egg pysanki ? Had them in my family for decades.
How moving, inspiring, beautiful tradition of the heroic Ukranian people. Lots of love going your way!.🥰🇺🇦❤🇺🇦🥰🇺🇦❤🇺🇦🥰🇺🇦❤
What a pretty lady. And extremely good artist and craftsmanship.
Do you have any statement about doxinf people on TikTok?
I’m not Ukrainian and I have no clue how to make these eggs but I want to make one anyways and send it.
Cool
❤️
I do these
Keren 👍
❤️👍🇺🇦
Glorry Ukrayne! 🙏🇺🇦🙏💛💙
Negotiations with Putin are a waste of invaluable time. Therefore, Ukraine urgently needs to provide heavy types of offensive weapons (combat aircraft and attack helicopters, tanks, armored personnel carriers, anti-ship missiles, long-range howitzers, radars against artillery batteries) so that Ukrainians can defeat the Russian occupation forces as soon as possible and expel their remnants back to Russia.
Ukrainians are now defending not only themselves and their homeland, but also the whole of Europe, since the seizure of Ukraine is only the first stage of Russia's plans to seize all European countries!
Always thought that that it was Polish, not Ukrainian tradition.
Christ has Risen Today! My thoughts and prayers for God's care over the Ukrainian people this Easter.
The Emissaries
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.[77:1]
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another
[77:2]
By the raging hurricanes,
[77:3]
By those which cause earth’s vegetation to revive;
[77:4]
By those who winnow with a winnowing,
[77:5]
By those who bring down the Reminder,
[77:6]
To excuse or to warn,
[77:7]
Surely that which ye are promised will befall.
[77:8]
So when the stars are put out,
[77:9]
And when the sky is riven asunder,
[77:10]
And when the mountains are blown away,
[77:11]
And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -
[77:12]
For what day is the time appointed ?
[77:13]
For the Day of Decision.
[77:14]
And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -
[77:15]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:16]
Destroyed We not the former folk,
[77:17]
Then caused the latter folk to follow after ?
[77:18]
Thus deal We ever with the guilty.
[77:19]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:20]
Did We not create you from a base fluid
[77:21]
Which We laid up in a safe abode
[77:22]
For a known term ?
[77:23]
Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!
[77:24]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:25]
Have We not made the earth a receptacle
[77:26]
Both for the living and the dead,
[77:27]
And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ?
[77:28]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:29]
(It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny;
[77:30]
Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,
[77:31]
(Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame.
[77:32]
Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,
[77:33]
(Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.
[77:34]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:35]
This is a day wherein they speak not,
[77:36]
Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.
[77:37]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:38]
This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.
[77:39]
If now ye have any wit, outwit Me.
[77:40]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:41]
Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains,
[77:42]
And fruits such as they desire.
[77:43]
(Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did.
[77:44]
Thus do We reward the good.
[77:45]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:46]
Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty.
[77:47]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:48]
When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!
[77:49]
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77:50]
In what statement, after this, will they believe ?
The monster is out. His name is Putin! Better start making eggs. I used to make these eggs. I'm Orthodox Christian. It's a tradition. I no lo get have a stylis. Send me one.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

The pagan myth is a story about the Time Matrix. I would look for allegory in Egyptian or Ethiopian lore, starting from allusions to the cosmic egg.
Estan system is now a weeddd Ed de
Слава Україні! Слава Нації! 💙💛
Turn to the true one and only God, call upon Jesus Christ.
Not a long time ago these traditions were both Ukrainian and Russian) Funny, now everything have to be divided…
Wrong. Russians never made these easter eggs.
WaPo extolling the traditions of Ukraine while trying to destroy and redefine American traditions😂😂😂😂
Russian Russian people are praying for the Ukrainian people, for the Russian people. He prays that God will give him the strength to resist the aggression of the USA, England and the EU.
I stand with Russia. I have valid reason why which I’ve presented. Come and see.
Because you support genocide and don’t care about Ukrainian people?
What does Slava Ukraine mean? Does it mean Go Nazis?
It was Ukrainian politician Stephan Bandera. He was in the Nazi prison during WW2 because he has declared Ukrainian Republic independency. So he was shot publicly by KGB agents in Western Germany in 1956 where he worked in university. He wrote this: 'It will come time when I say: 'Glory to Ukraine!' and millions of people will reply 'Glory to Heroes!''
It means 'Glory to Ukraine!!'
@@konstantink2641 The phrase "Glory to Ukraine" was long before Stepan Bandera
"Slava" in Ukrainian it is its "Glory", "Slava Ukraine" - its Ukrainian greeting, national slogan. This is the statement of all Ukrainian nationalists and fighters for Ukraine's independence.
