Oak Leaf:

The viburnum has gained new meaning for us. It is a symbol of our resilience and victory.
Wishing us a swift victory!

The sunflower reaches for the sun, just as we reach for Ukraine.
I wish you to travel only by your own choice and always return whenever your heart longs for your homeland.

They convey inner beauty, modesty, and loyalty.
These flowers are considered a talisman against evil spirits and symbolize righteousness and holiness.
May they protect each of us from evil spirits.

The deer is the prince of antlered animals.Our ancestors — herders — fed their families thanks to their livestock.
I wish your home prosperity and warmth.

Cuckoo:

According to our ancestors' beliefs, birds would fly away to paradise — Vyriy — for the winter.
The cuckoo held the keys to it.

She did not abandon her chicks but placed them in safe places — sacrificing what was dearest to her to maintain the balance between the worlds of the living and the dead.
May she bring a just peace for Ukraine from Vyriy!

These are 7 symbols that remind us of our culture and values
