Writing Pysanky and Prayers for Peace & Healing in Ukraine
April 6, 2025
As we prepare to celebrate the feast of Easter, come and learn the art of writing pysanky. Writing pysanky encompasses meaning-filled symbols and colors to decorate eggshells in celebration of the resurrection of our Lord. This workshop will introduce you to this ancient art and give you an opportunity to decorate an egg in this style and tradition. During our time together, we will also pause to pray for peace and healing in Ukraine.
