\n=== About Pysanka ===
\nPysanka is the name of 
 an intricately decorated Ukrainian Easter egg created using a wax-resist t
 echnique\, the earliest samples of which date back to the XI-XIII centurie
 s. The word \"Pysanka\" is akin to the Ukrainian word \"писати\" (pr
 onounced pih-s-a-t-ih)\, which means \"to write\" in Ukrainian. Designs ad
 orning the eggs are rich in symbolism\, and therefore\, the eggs are often
  \"written\" with messages of love\, prosperity\, peace\, and hope.
\nAcco
 rding to an ancient Hutsul legend (Hutsuls are an ethnic group of Ukrainia
 ns\, who live in the Carpathian Mountains of Western Ukraine)\, the world'
 s fate depends upon the pysanka. As long as the egg-writing custom continu
 es\, the world will exist. If\, for any reason\, this custom is abandoned\
 , evil–– in the shape of a horrible serpent who is forever chained to 
 a cliff –– will overrun the world. Each year\, the serpent sends out h
 is minions to see how many pysanky have been written. If the number is low
 \, the serpent's chains are loosened and he is free to wander the earth\, 
 causing havoc and destruction. If\, on the other hand\, the number of pysa
 nky has increased\, the chains are tightened\, and good triumphs over evil
  for yet another year.
