Friends!

Friends! I want to congratulate all the readers who today celebrate Pentecost!

For Ukrainian, it is a special holiday, which is associated with many traditions.

On the Ukrainian lands Trinity was celebrated since ancient times. Earlier celebration was called Green Sunday or Semik. On this day people gathered for circle dances, dancing.

One of the traditions was decorating of their homes with greenery. It was a symbol of renewal and rebirth. With flowers and green branches of trees faithful go to church. On this day, there are great public worships. Priests dress in green clothing. This custom of Christians is inherited by Jewish holiday Shavuot, about which I told you, because on this day synagogues are decorated with greenery in the memory of how Moses received tablets of the Law on Mount Sinai, and everything was flourishing. I sincerely greet you all on this bright holiday! I wish you all the joy, warmth, family welfare and peace. Spend this holiday in the circle of relatives in a good mood and with good thoughts.
