by Andrea Porytko-Zharovsky

JENKINTOWN, Pa. - The Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center opened its doors early Saturday morning, April 8, and greeted its many guests to the sights, sounds and, yes, delicious aromas of Ukraine. The UECC's 2006 Easter Bazaar, held in the great hall of the UECC, was a huge success.

Many vendors offered the Philadelphia area community the best of their wares: colorful Ukrainian Easter eggs, or pysanky, beautiful embroideries, delicate crafts, Trypillian and Hutsul ceramics, scented candles, dolls, cards, books, oil paintings, intricate jewelry, religious icons, Ukrainian music recordings and videos.

The UECC kitchen tempted all with its delicious traditional Ukrainian cuisine including: varenyky, holubtsi, potato pancakes and an assortment of home-made delicate pastries, including Ukrainian pasky and tortes. The UECC also offered an assortment of meats including kovbasa, kabanosy, and hams. Decorated traditional children's Easter baskets were available for purchase.

The Children's Choir of the Ukrainian Music Institute of Philadelphia performed two Ukrainian spring songs for the guests of the Easter Bazaar. The children were greeted with enthusiastic applause.
