Large Easter eggs

Easter eggs as the main symbol of the holiday 

It's hard to determine exactly when the egg first became a sacred symbol of fertility and prosperity. However, we can say that hand-painted bright eggs are the undisputed symbol of Easter. This traditional decoration has a deep meaning in itself, and the patterns that the artist uses to decorate the pysanka (as these handcrafted decorations are called in Ukraine) make it a real amulet charged with prosperity, success, and wealth.

Ukrgifts.com presents Ukrainian artists' incredible creations: handcrafted large decorations that convey ancient culture and symbolism in shape, color, and patterns.

Why are these Easter eggs so large?

Yes, we agree, the size of these Easter eggs is much larger than the traditional ones. But today, the evolution of Easter decorations does not stand still.

The Easter eggs presented in this section are a work of art and demonstrate the creative thought of artists from the Petrykivka village, where this unique painting comes from. Such large decorations are becoming more and more popular for several reasons:

• A large Easter egg attracts attention and can be the centerpiece of a festive arrangement
• It is visible from a distance, which means that such an egg can be placed, for example, in a window or on a high shelf
• Due to the size of the Easter egg, the artist can place a more interesting and detailed ornament on it

Why these eggs are wooden

Traditionally, real boiled eggs were painted to be blessed and served on the Easter table. However, this beauty is something you want to preserve for a long time, so these eggs were made of wood, a lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly material. This is a really large pysanka. The Easter eggs in this section are really massive, and you can use them not only to decorate a basket or a festive dinner, but also to use anywhere in the house: to make an installation on a window, to adorn a bookshelf, or to give to friends and family as an unusual souvenir.
