Today, in the Saturday column "Know yours, yours and ours", we will talk about the Christmas grandfather

Are your Christmas trees already dressed up for the upcoming holidays?

Did you know that grandfather was once a traditional symbol of Christmas among Ukrainians? Sheaf, which was usually used to decorate the house on Christmas Eve - the eve of the bright holiday. Ornaments were woven from ears of corn and put on penance - as gratitude for a good harvest, and for happiness and prosperity to prevail in the family.

So today in the Saturday column "Know yours, yours and ours" we will talk about grandfather - where he comes from, what he represents and what Christmas customs are associated with him.

Scroll through the carousel, and tell us in the comments to this post, have you heard of Grandpa before? Maybe they bought it or even made it with their own hands?
