PYSANKY
UKRANIAN WOMEN DEVELOPED A LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN REGION
BY SYMBOLICALLY DECORATING EGGS. DIFFERENT PICTURES
MEANT DIFFERENT THINGS. THEY USED THESE EGGS AS GIFTS,
GREETINGS, AND RELIGIOUS OBJECTS. EXAMPLES: A REINDEER= PROSPERITY,
A HORSE=WEALTH, FISH=CHRIST, HENS AND ROOSTERS=
FERTILITY, AND A SUN=GOOD FORTUNE.
