Families of Fallen Defenders Take Part in Creating the “Embroidered Ribbon of Remembrance”
On the eve of Vyshyvanka Day, the wives of fallen Ukrainian defenders, supported by Soborna Ukraine Foundation, took part in creating the Embroidered Ribbon of Remembrance at the Sadyba na Kudriavtsi Museum.
The initiative brought together people for whom remembering their loved one is part of everyday life. The Embroidered Ribbon of Remembrance initiative was launched by the Memorial Platform and the team of World Vyshyvanka Day.
For many of the participants, the workshop became much more than an introduction to a cherished Ukrainian tradition. As they worked with thread and traditional patterns, memory seemed to take on a tangible form. Symbolic practices like these help not only preserve the memory of loved ones but also nurture an enduring bond with those who are no longer with us.
In the peaceful atmosphere of the museum, with guidance from an embroidery instructor, each participant created her own ribbon. For some, it became a symbol of love; for others, of gratitude; and for many, a quiet way to express the most important feelings without words.
We sincerely thank the Sadyba na Kudriavtsi Museum for its hospitality and for for creating such a welcoming space for this gathering.
