My maternal grandparents were from "the" Ukraine/Ukraine. The only ethnic "thing" my mother passed down to us was Easter egg decorating. She melted wax in a jar lid on the (electric) stove burner. She put a straight pin into a pencil eraser and used it as her stylus. Her designs were intricate. She made them Holy Thursday evening after we went to bed. We dyed the eggs Good Friday; then she took a warmed cotton cloth (heated in the oven) and wrapped it around the egg to warm the wax design. This gave the egg a shine.
I did this with our son and now do it with our Grands.

I inherited 4 decorated eggs I admired for years that my MIL bought somewhere. Every Easter I display them in the same cut glass Easter basket she did. The eggs must be 40 years old.
