My Ukrainian Easter breads and Easter basket info...

It looks divine. My DH's family is Ukranian and often refers to his childhood days. Perhaps I can give him a Ukranian Easter next year. Would get him in a church too, double accomplishment

Thanks so everyone for all your comments, and caring enough to read/see a glimpse into our traditions!

[BVOGT30]

You are most welcome. I learned a looong time ago that the best way to understand something (religion mostly) is to see with your own eyes what is important. After that understanding and acceptance comes easy

bumping up I am looking for a recipe that I posted once for Paska Easter Bread,I have the recipe and will be making it again this year,its made with a whole orange and a whole lemon ,its really good.

That's awesome bluerose!

Our cathedral is on the Julian calendar, so our Easter isn't until May 5 this year! Lots of time before I do my Easter breads!

These are just lovely. Think I'll have another go at making some psyanky eggs this year. I can't do a good job of it, but have fun trying.

Oh, I really miss making pysanky; I haven't made them for years - my hands/arms just aren't up to doing them anymore.

Yes, pysanky isn't easy to do, but I love the symbolism behind the patterns, and I find it helps me relax and feel nostalgic.
