Ukraine House in Denmark invites to the Ukrainian Easter marathon
Ukrainian Easter celebration is enriched both with ancient traditions and modern-day cultural iterations that, in some cases, are not less fascinating than the ones observed for centuries.
Wars, artificial famines, and forced resettlements brought Ukrainians enormous grief but also spurred resilience that eventually made its way to the festive tables and got coded in recipes and songs. In Ukraine, Easter is celebrated by believers and non-believers alike, as the holiday embodies the spirit of Ukrainian national identity.
