"Pysanka" in High Demand in Connecticut As Well

NEW HAvEN, Conn.–"Pysanka", the Ukrainian designed Easter egg has been in the spotlight across the country during and after Easter, with many Ukrainian - both women and men - barely finding time to accommodate requests from various groups interested in learning the art. Mrs. Orysia Zinycz, a UNWLA activist and member of the national board, was instrumental in staging exhibits and demonstrations of "pysan– ka" art at several sites in Connecticut. On Sunday, April 3, Mrs. Zinycz, her children, their friends and members of UNWLA Branches 66 and 108 here set up a "Ukrainian Easter" booth at the international Fair in Yale University Commons, staged for the benefit of the international Center of New Haven. Joining here were her son George and daughter Christina, Olga Sobko, Natal– ka and Bohdan Harvey, Slava Horbata, Genia Kozak, and Maryann Mikoski. The above photo appeared in the New Haven Register Sunday before the Festival Also on display were diverse Ukrainian at Yale Commons, it shows, left to right, George Zinycz, Christina Zinycz, Olga artifacts.

Ukrainian Easter Rites are Center Of Attraction in Ansonia

Ukrainian Easter traditions draw spell bound stares from many people across the United States, but the Ukrainian community of Ansonia-New Haven in Connec– ticut seem to get more than their share. With many write-ups about Ukrainian Easter rites in local newspapers' pre-Easter editions, the community received just as many during and after the holiday. The center of this attraction are the "Py– sanky" decorating lessons at area libraries arranged by Frank Stuban. The articl– es, a few of which were penned by Mr. Stuban, told the story of Ukrainian Easter traditions. The stories would be incomplete without photos of "pysanky", so many of them included two, three or more photos. The photo above shows Mr. Stuban, bending over right, and his daughter, Suzana, left, showing a group of youngsters from Oxford, Conn., how to apply wax and dyes to white eggs in or– der to transform them into "pysanky". The photo appeared in the April 1st edi– tion of The Bee, a Western Connecticut weekly newspaper.

Join Ranks of Young UNA'ers

Soyuzivka, its environs and beautiful scenery, have been depicted on canvasses by various Ukrainian artists and are adorning many a Ukrainian household. This continues to be the case now with yet another addition to the UNA site in the Catskills - the original wooden church of the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic parish in Kerhonkson, N.Y. Last February and March, with the UNA estate still blanketed with the white stuff in the wake of a harsh winter, Ukrainian artist Michael Moroz whiled at Soyuzivka and captured a few landscapes, as well as the church, on canvass. As photo above shows, Mr. Moroz is joined by his student- assistant, Mrs. lrene Ziellyk, in putting final touches on the paintings.
