The Magic of Ukrainian Easter: A Lecture & Tasting Experience

The Magic of Ukrainian Easter is an illustrated talk exploring the meaning and traditions of Ukrainian Easter through storytelling, visuals, and live demonstrations. Participants learn about key rituals and symbols—from the Easter basket and Holy Week practices to songs, blessings, and foods—culminating in a guided tasting of traditional Easter dishes.

The talk is led by Karen Pidskalny, an educator and cultural researcher with decades of experience interpreting Ukrainian religious and folk traditions in Canada.
