Definition from Wikipedia
A pysanka (Ukrainian: писанка, plural: pysanky) is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word comes from the verb pysaty, “to write”, as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax. The word pysanka refers specifically to an egg decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs, and is not a generic term for any egg decorated using wax resist.

These eggs were all decorated at Fair Grinds Coffeehouse on Good Friday, April 22, 2011 under the direction of Ms. Jane Hill.
