New homes are for old cultural traditions, and this one I️ love and am grateful for, as well as thankful for a Mom who keeps our Ukrainian heritage alive. Pictured here: - Bread: So that our home may never know hunger. - Salt: May our home always have flavor. - Candle (homemade beeswax of course!): So this home may always have light and happiness. - Coins: So that we dwell in good fortune. (Now positioned above front door). - Honey: So that we may always enjoy the sweetness of life. (Made by bees in Sierra Nevadas) - Broom: Sweep away evil; the home will be clean. - Wine: Symbolizing the hope “Wishing joy, happiness, and good cheer to this house forever.” - Flowers: Appreciation of the hostess. #Treehive #CAtoNY #Peace #HOME #PalatableThoughts #Ukrainian #Family #Traditions #Thankful (at Woodstock, New York)
