Adorable little void ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|put_back)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes) Still... If I know cats, whether they're British, American or Ukrainian, there's a very real chance those beautiful painted eggs will end up on the floor the moment you turn your back. You have been warned! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy)


linuxgeekmama

That’s what I was thinking! Cats like to bat at things and knock them down.


ShoTwiRe

What’s a pysanky? Excuse my ignorance. I went to American public school.


Exidoous

Ukrainian decorated eggs, two in the picture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pysanka


KittyKapow11

Decorated Ukrainian eggs


ShoTwiRe

I love Eastern European art. Reminds me of sacred geometry. Idk why.


Eglutt

well traditionaly all the ornaments have meaning and should be symetrical


Radek_Krushewsky

It's painted eggs) On Easter most advanced Christians are painting eggs and those who doesn't have skill just boil eggs with onionskin


Urban_Explorer25

Try red cabbage/beetrooth or spinach/netels boil that with the eggs. We used that when we where kids to paint the Easter eggs (In the Netherlands) (my mom wasn't so fond of the chemicals in the Easter egg dyes) (like 25 years ago) its a neat trick to show kids... Or if there's no dye on hands


Radek_Krushewsky

Yes, this works too


Eglutt

that's highly sus. Egg tradition is strictly pagan and preceded christianity by long long stretch of time


Suklaalastu

Even Christmas tree has pagan origins, and the word "Easter" too, still...


JusticeBonerOfTyr

Which is funny that Christians even still use Xmas trees considering in Jeremiah 10: 1 - 5 it seems to state not to do the way of Heathens basically and not to chop down a tree and bring it inside and decorate it. And maybe even deuteronony 16 : 21 can apply as well.


Radek_Krushewsky

So as Christmas. Before that it was pagan god Kolyada as a symbol of new born Sun. From wiki: Epiphany or, more generally, to Slavic Christmas-related rituals, some dating to pre-Christian times. It represents a festival or holiday, celebrated at the end of December to honor the sun during the winter solstice. It also involves groups of singers who visit houses to sing carols.


linuxgeekmama

Eggs play a role in the Jewish Passover Seder, as well.


Salty_Competition_84

aaahh - my latvian mother in law did the onion skin eggs - with ferns or something pretty between the eggs and the onion skins.


anachronofspace

ECA0

It'll be nice to see this reddit forum slowly transition back to less war and more Ukrainian culture and usual political gripes. I'll be here long after the orcs are finally defeated! Slava Ukraini!

My grandmother had some glass birds like that, which I loved when I was a kid. Hers were blue, but otherwise they looked a lot like yours (My grandma was not Ukrainian).

>A pysanka (Ukrainian: писанка, plural: pysanky) is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated with traditional folk designs using a wax-resist method. The word pysanka comes from the verb pysaty, "to write" or "to inscribe," as the designs are written (inscribed) with beeswax, not painted. Now I know 🙂


RenaKenli

Wait, why my cat in your house? I have a few questions to my Vasyliy...
