The ancient Ukrainians believed that a bowl full of decorated eggs displayed in the house would guarantee health to everyone who lived there. Others believed evil spirits would lose their power in the presence of the powerful, talismanic eggs. These eggs come with a lucite stand or can be strung with a ribbon. A sheet explaining the symbolism on most pysanky is also included. Design a wedding egg for a friend. I can put symbols of eternal love, male, female, even fertility on your special egg.
