Pysanky eggs are nothing like the simple vinegar-dyed eggs you might have made as a kid. These eggs are decorated with a hot wax and indelible dye technique that is tricky and time-consuming.

The St. Charles Public Library presents “The History of Ukrainian Easter Eggs” on Thursday, March 28 at 1 p.m. The program will be held in the Huntley Community Room.

Denise Blaszynski will share the history and symbolism behind these beautiful and elaborate eggs, and demonstrate the process used to create them.

Pysanka is one of the best-recognized Ukrainian traditional arts and an indispensable element of Easter celebrations in Ukraine.
