The library has a display this Easter of Ukranian eggs created by Mr. Pete Pasternak. Part of the display shows the various stages of the work from the white blown goose eggs, through the pencil design, then to the wash stage, and finally the colorful application of the design.

It is called Pysanky, an age-old Ukrainian tradition of adorning eggs with beautiful, colorful and meaningful designs. There is also a key to the numerous designs on display, including the baskets, flowers, diamonds etc. that Mr. Pasternak used. The large egg  on display is an blown out ostrich egg, done in black and adorned with the Ukrainian's favorite flower, the Poppy. It also contains numerous tiny baskets, dots and Greek keys in the patterns.

Mr. Pasternak also provided a copy of the Ukrainan folk tale of the poor peddler who leaves his eggs to help a man passing who is being crucified and returns to find the eggs beautifully adorned.
