"The emergence of the Motanka doll."

       Ukrainian towels and embroidered shirts are known everywhere, both in Ukraine and far beyond its borders, but sometimes people know nothing about the motanka doll. It is wonderful that the traditions of creating and using such dolls have been preserved and continue to revive. Motanka dolls are ancient family amulets of Ukrainians.

   The first doll-motanka was made more than 5 thousand years ago.  The motanka is a symbol of goodness and prosperity, a symbol of hope for the best, and a strong sacred object.

    The  name of the doll - "motanka" - comes from the concept of "to wind", and the general appearance of such a doll is a human figure, usually a woman or a child, made of pieces of fabric. The body parts of such a doll were connected by knots.   This doll differs from a typical doll by the absence of face. According to the ancient popular beliefs, the face inspired a soul in a doll. The soul can be good or bad. These dolls are made from the natural materials such as (hay, straw, wood, herbs, dry leaves, grains, seeds). The doll-motanka was decorated by the national ornaments and by the embroidery. A Ukrainian rag doll must have mandatory clothing elements that have a certain meaning. The skirt symbolizes the earth, the shirt denotes three times: past, present, and future; embroidery and beads are mandatory attributes that represent prosperity. The headdress - a cap, ribbon or scarf - symbolizes the connection with the sky.

People believed that there was a spirit of ancestors in it and it could pass on the experience from generation to generation. The Ukrainian people trusted that this symbol brought them wealth and fortune. They performed a variety of functions such as the protection of the house, of children, of sleep and of household. Children liked to play with it.  The secrets of making this doll were passed on from mother to daughter. And these amulets always carry positive energy.

Тeacher: I would like to finish our lesson with the words of M. Rylsky: “ He, who does not know his past, is not worthy of his future.” Let's revive Ukrainian amulets together. They will protect our homes and bring the culture and customs of Ukrainians to the next generations. Weave wreaths, make dolls, paint Easter eggs, plant kalyna, willow, protect storks, embroider towels and shirts. Let them protect you from evil, meanness and lies.

The lesson is over. Good-bye.
