In Ukraine the Didukh represents a place where ancestral spirits live. During the Holidays you invite your passed relatives to enjoy the Christmas season along with you and the living. The Didukh is placed in the home in a special area. In various parts of Ukraine the Didukh is removed after the Holiday season. In some households, the Diduck is burned to give warmth and light to those passed.
This workshop will explore specific traditions centered around creating diducks and each participant with make their own home diduck with winter greenery and dried floral elements grown at Barnswallow.
