Ukraine House in Denmark invites to the Ukrainian Easter marathon

Share
As Easter holidays approach us, Ukraine House in Denmark invites you to join us for a special two-day marathon of the ultimate Ukrainian Easter experience! From egg decorating workshops to academic talks about the Ukrainian intellectuals who sought to preserve Ukrainian culture while facing repressions, there will be activities for all those keen to learn more. When: 1-2 April, 2023, both days begin at 12:00. The event will take place at Christianshavn, Gammel Dok, Strandgade 27B, 1401 København.

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.
