"Pysanka. Lemkivshchyna" Tenth issue of standard postage stamps 2026. Maximum card

A "pysanka" is an egg decorated with traditional symbols, created using wax and dyes.

In Ukraine, the "pysanka" has long been closely linked to religious rituals—specifically the blessing of eggs at Easter—which is why the craft was effectively banned for a long period during the Soviet era.

"Pysanky" from different regions of Ukraine vary in their patterns and colors. The style from the Hutsul region is considered the most intricate; the patterns there are highly detailed, featuring very fine lines. In contrast, in the Kyiv, Ternopil, and Zakarpattia regions, the designs are large and cover the majority of the egg's surface.
