HARTFORD, Conn. – On dreary and cold Palm Sunday, Branch 108 (New Haven, Conn.) of the Ukrainian National Association (UNA) held an annual Easter egg hunt for more than 20 children on the rectory lawn of St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Hartford, Conn.
Children age 1-13 took part in the annual event, which is now in its 17th year. Those who collected the most eggs by age category won a large chocolate bunny, but everyone received a UNA backpack filled with candy and other goodies during the event on April 10.
Participating in their first Easter egg hunt in the United States were three young boys who, together with their parents, recently arrived in New Haven, Conn., from Ukraine.
Assisting Branch 108 Secretary and UNA Advisor Gloria Horbaty during the event were Halia Lodynsky and Branch 108 Treasurer Donald Horbaty.
