T. Do you wear a Ukrainian chaplet? What do you know about it? What flowers are twined in it? Look  at the blackboard. You can see the pictures of the Ukrainian flowers. Can you guess them? Can  you see them in our streets and in  the park?

 Read the information about the flowers that comprise the chaplet.

                The best place in chaplet belongs to milfoil.            

                        The wind flies away its seeds and wherever they grow

                        they always are in bloom. That’s why people twined it as a symbol

                        of steadfastness.

                           Snowball tree is the symbol of native land and girl’s beauty.

                              Apple and cherry blossom is the mother’s love and devotion.

                          Immortelle always gives health.

                               Hop means cleverness. Hop- bines are twined between flowers.

                         Periwinkle is life and immortality.

                            Hollyhock, peony means faith, hope and love.

               The flower of poppy is the symbol of sorrow and sadness. They

                were twined to the chaplet only by those girls whose relative died

                defending their native land.

Ribbons

A chaplet was decorated by colour ribbons. There were 21 ribbons in it.  Every ribbon had its symbolic meaning. For example, a brown ribbon is a symbol of the sun, a light-green ribbon is a symbol of beauty and youth, a blue ribbon is a symbol of the sky and water, an orange ribbon is a symbol of bread, a purple is a symbol of wise, raspberry colour is a symbol of health, a pink colour is a symbol of wealth and harvest.

 A brown ribbon is tied in the middle. The next ribbons are tied on both sides from the brown one. Yellow ribbons come the first, then light-green and blue.

 There was a white ribbon too. The sky was embroidered on the left end   and the moon on the right one.

 People believed in magic power of the ribbons. They were sure of their protection from bad eye. That’s why the ribbons were a little longer than a braid to hide it.
