Easter Lamb Figurines, Molds, Egg Wraps, Decor & More
Discover your own Easter traditions at the Polish Art Center. Featuring a stunning collection of Polish and Ukrainian traditional pieces for celebrating the holiday, the Polish Art Center will help you honor your heritage with beautiful and meaningful remembrances. . From a butter lamb mold to various wood-carved molds to colorful egg wraps and sleeves, you can find many time-honored items to support your celebration throughout the springtime season.
We also offer festive candles, ornaments, and fun activities that your family can enjoy together. For an especially traditional touch, add our symbolic Easter Lamb, or Baranek wielkanocny, representing the sacrificial Paschal Lamb — in other words, Jesus’ victory of life over death. Made of butter or sugar rock candy but also of dough, wood, plaster, fleece, or even plastic, the lamb usually wields a red banner of Resurrection emblazoned with a gold cross, although other colors are also encountered. It should go into the basket last because, in effect, it watches over the rest of the ingredients. (Robert Strybel)
We encourage you to browse our selection to find the perfect pieces to enhance your Easter memories or start a new tradition this season.
