The ancestral art of Easter eggs in Ukraine preserves national identity

In Lviv, families participate in workshops to learn the wax and dye technique during Holy Week. The pysanka museum attracts visitors eager to reconnect with a tradition that is two to three millennia old. Many Ukrainians view this custom as part of a broader effort to preserve national identity and transmit cultural practices shaped by faith and history. Artist Vira Manko, who has painted over 3,000 pysanky, teaches participants the techniques of creation.
