About :
(online master class of the ethno-project "Bukovyna Christmas") Folk ornaments, toys (video ten) It was precisely unripe rye stalks, squeezed with a sickle, but not mowed, that were once prepared in almost every house, so that later before Christmas they could weave a light and symbolic spider out of them. In Bukovina, in some villages, these Christmas ornaments - amulets were called seraphim. A symbol of the universe, macrocosm and microcosm, because the spider embodied both the family and family relationships. Finally, the rye straw itself is sacred and its unambiguous commonality with the concepts of living, life. And on the rye stalk - an ear of corn - the juice of the earth, which waters the plant in the cyclical annual Circle, which goes to summer (we say: summers pass, chronology). The sacred grain culture of our agricultural ancestors in pre-Christian times has survived to this day. Straw spiders have now returned to the homes of Ukrainians and often replace the traditional Christmas tree, which is only a little over three hundred years old in our lands. And spiders in the interior of a home always look appropriate, stylish, modern. They are sometimes decorated with bright colored, but light materials - tassels of threads, colored feathers, dried flowers, lilies, glass beads. Actually, there is a lot of space for creative imagination here. Especially in the arrangement of the most traditional cube segments. To develop new models of spiders, modern artists-designers use the entire possible arsenal of elements for shaping this decoration. And yet this is, first of all, one of the oldest amulets, artifacts of our culture. This is how the straw weaving master of the National Union of Folk Art Masters of Ukraine, Larisa BROSKA from the city of Storozhynets, views her creative work. Therefore, we are sure that her master class will interest you. Having made a straw spider with your own hands, send us a photo or video at the link: (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...) With gratitude for your attention to our ethnoproject, we will include you in the great Bukovina Circle of Kolyada. And let our simple but original amulet - the straw spider - rotate like an eternal wheel of life and the world through the millennia.
