Ukrainian Easter Eggs

Members of St. Michael's and St. George's Ukrainian Orthodox Church's Women's Council decorate traditional Easter eggs to sell until Easter Sunday. The Pysanky, as they are called, are made using a wax-resist and dye method, not paint. Profit from the decorated eggs went to Ukrainian refugee relief. Photos from 1947 and 1948.
