- **Event Name**: Ukrainian Easter Traditions: Past & Present / Virtual Presentation with Alona Popova
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 pm – Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 12:30 am
- **Event Description**: Since ancient times, the egg has been one of humanity’s most powerful symbols. It is difficult to say which culture first gave it meaning, yet nearly all ancient civilizations were familiar with it. Across different peoples, the egg came to represent the same essential ideas: the mystery of life emerging from darkness, the return of the sun in spring, warmth, renewal, and joy.

This lecture invites the audience to explore the rich tradition of Ukrainian Easter eggs within this broader symbolic context. The author will guide participants through the diverse techniques of decorating Easter eggs that have existed in Ukraine for centuries — from pysanky and krashanky to dryapanky and other regional forms — sharing her personal experience of recreating these methods and reflecting on their materials, symbolism, and cultural significance.

The presentation will also introduce contemporary Easter egg decorating traditions practiced by other cultures around the world, revealing how diverse and vibrant this artistic heritage remains both in Ukraine and beyond.
