Before evening of the whispered, "with God's help." often each village had its own during the middle of the Lenten (Continued on page 16) Then she could proceed with confidence. With her simple stylus, called a kistka, she "wrote" on the egg with melted wax, dividing the ovoid shape into several areas. With a succession of dye baths and the addition of ancient symbols drawn with the wax, the egg took on its powerful magical qualities and became a revered object, a pysanka. To insure its benevolence, the decorator dared not stray from the proscribed time, method, colors or symbols in making a pysanka. To do so would be to weaken the pysanka's power to ward off evil. Even by itself the unadorned egg was a magical object. It was the source of life, a symbol of fertility. It was all the more powerful when representing tbe- sun-god floating in the universe, whose return each spring was a celebrated event. The agrarian people of Ukraine worshipped the sun-god Dazhboh, (literally "god- who-gives") and the spring equinox ("when the earth was reborn") was the most important festival of the year. With the advent of Christianity in Ukraine, in 988 A.D., eggs continued to play a Central role in і the yearly celebration of Christ's resurrection. Many symbols of the old sun worship survived, and appeared on the eggs in manifold variations. Discs with radiating straight lines, curved lines of hooks are easily recognizable. But more subtle forms appear as well: the swastika, triquetrum and eight-pointed star also symbolize the life-group sun. A cock's crow announces the daily return of the sun, and thus it too is represented along with the solar symbols, though in a highly stylized form such as the cock's comb. Other birds are also associated with the sun. The much-respected swallow is depicted by its outstanding feature, its tail. The horse, representing the mythical team oi, eight which pulls the sun's chariot across the sky is also important. The meander, or the endless line (Bezkonechnyk), encircling the egg signifies eternity. Such designs were found on ceramic eggs on the pottery unearthed in the burial mounds of the Neolithic Period (5000-2500 B.C.). Traces of egg shells were also found.
