Couple of Chickens (Jumbo Duck Egg)



My own design. A non-traditional division.
On this pysanka:
Rooster and hen: rich family life, fertility (eggs with this motif are often gifted to young couples starting their lives together)
Flowers: charity and good will
Triangles: trinity, family (mother, father, and child)
Dots: seeds / Mary's tears
St. Andrew's cross (cross made with diagonal lines): represents St. Andrew, the patron saint of Ukraine
Star-rose: God's love / life force

The flower between the chickens is actually a traditional "tree of life" motif reflecting renewal and creation.

Final color, blue: health, fidelity, truth
