Ukrainian Easter eggs are an art form all to themselves. They are an essential part of some Ukrainian religious services but are also made for fun, given as gifts, and even sold online. Tara LaBerge from Swan Hills, Alberta, talked more about these works of art.
Tara grew up in the Ukrainian community in Winnipeg, Manitoba, active in the Ukrainian Catholic Church and attending one of the city s Ukrainian schools until she reached junior high.
