My favoite activity around easter time is to decorate eggs in the Ukranian fashion.

ths tradition pre-dates Christianity, but also contains some elements
and symbols from the christian tradition now-a-days.

Eastre in Anglo-Saxon; Eostre in Northumbrian was the name of a great northern goddess whose symbol was a rabbit or hare. Exchange of eggs is an ancient custom, celebrated by many cultures.

In any case, whatever significance you find in these rites of spring,
here is a bit of information on the Ukranian eggs. the making of these eggs is thought to be important to keeping the balance of good in the world.

Oroville that i made for showing at Spring Valley school one year

when we had a special program studying Russian music, dance, arts and

crafts.her e is a map--the Ukraine in in russia.
