Ukrainian mythology for kids.
(Ukrainian language)
In this lesson we were learning about Ukrainian Mythology.
Mavka - is a mythical person, a kind, sweet and pretty girl with long hair. Her hair can be any colour, just like in any human. Most of the time she has a hairband designed with flowers or leaves. If Mavka lives in the forest, her hairband will have leaves from the trees where she lives. If Mavka lives in the fields, her hairbands will be designed with wild flowers 💐. The girl, Mavka always wears a long white dress and walks barefoot. That is why it is so easy to confuse her with a human girl.
This lesson has helped us to understand a book - "The forest song". We tryed to draw Mavka and the amazing symbols of the nature.
We are very grateful to John, Sarah, Simon - all volunteers who joined us yesterday at The Church of Jesus Chist of Latter-Day Saints. You gave us place where we can meet and support each other. Each of you are bringing Hope for Ukrainians in this meetings and we are grateful for this.
Kind regards,
Ukrainian community in Chelmsford.
