Vyshyvanka day today!

Vyshyvanka day (18th May) is indeed a special day for me personally as well as for every Ukrainian. On the territory of Ukraine, embroidery existed already in the 5th century B.C, and was a creation of Scythian fine art. Ukraine is famous throughout the world for its highly artistic embroidery. Each Ukranian region has it‘s own special and unique vyshyvanka embroidery, representing the symbols of sun, life, love and luck for the person, who wears the clothing.Vyshyvanka is used as a talisman to protect the person wearing it and to tell a story. A geometric pattern woven in the past by adding red or black threads into the light thread was later imitated by embroidery, and believed to have the power to protect a person from all harm. We absolutely honor our heritage and culture not only on this day but as well as any other moment. Every day, every second.
