LECTURE | Tying the Knot: Ukrainian-Style
Join Karen Pidskalny for an engaging look at the rich traditions of the Ukrainian wedding, from historic customs to their influence on celebrations today. Ukrainian weddings unfold through meaningful stages, engagement rituals, family blessings, church ceremonies, lively receptions, and post-wedding gatherings.
This lecture explores the cultural significance of key symbols such as the korovai (wedding bread), vinok (floral crown), and rushnyk (embroidered towel), which carry memory and artistry through generations. From old village customs to modern interpretations, the Ukrainian wedding remains a vibrant expression of love, identity, and belonging.
