Hand painted Ukrainian Easter egg Oval Sticker
A pysanka (Ukrainian: пиÑанка, plural: pysanky) is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word comes from the verb pysaty, "to write", as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax. The word pysanka refers specifically to an egg decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs, and is not a generic term for any egg decorated using wax resist. Many other eastern European ethnic groups, decorate eggs using wax resist for Easter. These include the Belarusians (піÑанка, pisanka), Bulgarians (пиÑано Ñйце, pisano yaytse), Croats (pisanica), Hungarians (hÃmestojás), Czechs (kraslice), Lithuanians (margutis), Poles (pisanka), Romanians (ouă vopsite, incondeiate or impistrite), Serbs (pisanica), Slovaks (kraslica), Slovenes (pisanica, pirhi or remenke) and Sorbs (jejka pisać).
