The Running of the Deer

This is a near-replica of a diasporan design from a UGS postcard.

On this pysanka:
Deer: prosperity, endurance
Cross: four cardinal directions / the Crucifixion
St. Andrew's Cross (X): patron saint of Ukraine
Cross-hatching: suggestive of plowed fields
Ladders: overcoming small obstacles, prayer
Rams horns (paired spirals): creativity, leadership, prosperity
Sun: life force / God's love
Spirals (singles): powerful sign against evil

Final color, red: fire, passion, action, hope
