Ukrainians call these days the “Green Holidays” because the green branches and flowers adorn the houses and buildings on the Day of Trinity, and the priests holy the vegetation that people bring to church.
Since the pre-Christian times our ancestors have been worshiping the cult of green nature, green trees that connects the three worlds - the heaven, the earth and the under world. It was believed that Saint Lado (the good spirit of the ancestors) visited the house with all the foliage and saved it from the evil forces.
With the fresh herbs one’s family receives joy, peace, serenity and grace of God. May this festival inspire you to do good things and fill your hearts with forgiveness and love of neighbor!
We wish you health, warmth, inspiration, happiness, long life, light and hope of God's blessing. Happy Trinity!
