Six-Rose Design
Blog Post #5
The Six-Rose pysanka is a delight. Its ancient symbolic reference to God's all-pervading love is truly uplifting to prayer writers seeking through meditative effort to draw upon His love. All true scriptures ensure that God is Love: a universal force that dwells within, and sustains all creation. God's unconditional love flows through receptive hearts and minds as a delightfully divine peace, joy and wisdom.

4... The Six-Rose possibilities are endless. Here are some favorites from my family's decade-old pysanky collection.
