Yesterday, I showed you some items in the Petrykivka style.
The key figure behind this art is 🇺🇦 Tetiana Pata (1884–1976). She taught an entire generation of artists, making sure Petrykivka would survive and flourish.

I agree. For all the misery & pressure being put on #Ukraine, russia should be held accountable. Aside from territorial, ceasefire & other issues, the children & POWs should come home where they belong. Until they do, we need to support 🇺🇦. Will you help too? ⬇️
🎄 My Xmas wish list:
No border concessions.
A real ceasefire, not frozen occupation.
Return of abducted children and PoWs.
Use russia’s frozen assets to pay for damages.
Arm Ukraine without hesitation.
Sanction russia until its war machine collapses.
And trucks!! 🛻⬇️🔗🙏

Today, we honour Saint Kateryna the Great Martyr.
In pre-Christian times, this day was believed to celebrate a girl’s destiny, and later the Church linked it to Saint Kateryna, a symbol of womanhood.
