Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The Ukrainian Easter egg brings good luck. Halya Kluchko; curator of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada on Spadina Ave.; puts the final decorative touches to a pysanka; a traditional Ukrainian Easter egg. The art is an age-old one practised since pre-Christian times and the pysanka is given as a good luck symbol to a special friend-one who doesn't have a yen for the usual chocolate egg delivered by the Easter bunny.
