Especially during times of hardship, pysanky are symbols of hope, resilience, and re-birth. This egg showcases traditional designs including stalks of wheat. Wheat symbolizes wishes for good health and a rich harvest. Most importantly, wheat motifs reflect the deep connection between Ukrainian people and their land.
