These are pysanky, or Ukrainian decorated eggs. According to legend, a demon monster would destroy the world but it’s chained, unable to complete its destruction. As it fights its bonds, the links of the chain are weakened. Every year, the chain is strengthened by the number of pysanky that are made or exchanged.

Make pysanky or die. I love it.
