Easter Eggs - Pisanki
As a sign of incipient and new life, the egg occupies an important place in the Easter festivities of the Poles.  For many weeks before the holyday, the girls decorate the eggs which are ornamented in three ways: malowanki are done in colors;  pisanki are batiked in geometric figures and animal designs; skrobanki are done in solid colors with figures on them.
