THE SUPERSTAR

The football star Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 on the island of Madeira, which is a few hundred miles south- west of Portugal. He grew up in a small house in the city of Funchal and began playing football for a youth team in Madeira, where his dad was the team’s equipment manager. Cristiano Ronaldo was a huge football star on the Island but he moved 600 miles to Lisbon when he was just 12 years old to play for Sporting Lisbon’s youth team. The move was a difficult one for Cristiano, since he was away from his family and many of his teammates made fun of his Madeiran accent.

While some kids chose to tease Cristiano about his accent, no one was teasing him about his football skills. His dazzling footwork and goal- scoring touch made him a teenage star. He played his first game for Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League when he was 17 and quickly became known as one of the most exciting young football players in the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s talent caught the eye of Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson, who bought him from Sporting Lisbon for $20 million US! Cristiano Ronaldo has had success playing for both Manchester United and for Portugal. He scored the opening goal for Manchester in their 2004 FA Cup victory and helped Portugal advance in the finals at Euro 2004. His fabulous footwork and good looks have now made Cristiano Ronaldo one of the most popular players in Europe.

                                                          PAINTED EASTER EGGS

Pysanka is the traditional Ukrainian Easter egg. The origin of the word pysanka comes from the Ukrainian verb pysaty, which means to write or to paint. Symbols and ornaments are painted on an egg with melted beeswax.

The symbol of an egg is present in many ancient cultures of the world. Easter eggs can be made of stone, metal or wood and decorated with precious stones.

Many rituals are associated with pysankas. The first Easter meal begins with an Easter egg. The head of the family cuts it into small pieces and gives them to each member of the family with the words “Khrystos voskres” (“Christ has risen”).

The patterns that pysankas are decorated with contain encoded wishes for happiness, a rich harvest, health and wealth. They are presented to people as a sign of friendship and are also used by girls to send love messages to young men.

In the Ukrainian town of Kolomyya, there is a pysanka museum, the only museum of this kind in Ukraine. Its collection contains more than 10,000 pysankas from every region of Ukraine as well as from four foreign countries.
