"We have not undertaken to transport Easter eggs yet, but we will put into circulation stamps with Easter eggs from the regions of Ukraine..." — director of Ukrposhta about the new postage stamps
Easter was celebrated in Ukraine the other day. And this holiday became an excellent information drive for the release of philatelic novelties.

Ukrposhta has decided to please stamp connoisseurs with stamps depicting Easter eggs from different regions of Ukraine. The novelties will be put into circulation on April 21.

This will be the tenth issue of stamps – "Ukrainian folk Easter". With their help, everyone will be able to learn or remember what ornaments in pysankarstvo were characteristic of different regions of the country.

The total circulation of these postage stamps will be more than 1 million copies. In addition to them, they plan to release thematic envelopes with the image of spring flowers – lilacs and dandelions, which in the pictures are next to Easter eggs.

We would like to remind you that the Easter egg is considered a cultural symbol of Ukraine and a unique work of folk art. The egg was a symbol of spring awakening of nature, birth of life, procreation.

Various geometric shapes and signs were used for painting in Ukraine: triangles, spirals, wedges, tricorns, which were later transformed into ornaments. Craftswomen used various decorating techniques. Depending on this, the eggs were called krashanka, krapanka, skryabanka, malovanka, and pysanka.
