In Black River Falls a pysanka workshop at the Jackson County Courthouse reconnects Mary Rosko and her daughter Lee Seul with Ukrainian Easter egg craft. Betty Kendrick leads the wax-resist dye process, sharing history from pagan roots to Christian symbolism and the care of long lasting, undecorated eggs.
A list explains meanings assigned to Ukrainian Easter eggs, linking designs to concepts such as nets for men, baskets for the Holy Trinity, ladders for leaving petty problems behind, the eight point star for Christ, pine needles for youth, fish for Christ, deer for victory and joy, a horse for wealth, a ram for leadership, a spider for patience and artistry, horns for nobility and wisdom, and wheat for a generous harvest. Photos and text by Kitz Cleary.
