Embroidery Day is more than just a holiday. It is a day when every Ukrainian can show their love for their native culture, support national traditions and emphasise their belonging to a great and strong nation. Embroidery is not just clothing, it is a symbol that preserves centuries of history, traditions and the national identity of Ukrainians.

A brief history of the holiday: what does the embroidered shirt symbolise?

The history of Embroidery Day began in 2006, when Ukraine decided to celebrate this day on the third Thursday of May to promote traditional folk embroidery. The embroidered shirt has a deep symbolic meaning. Every ornament, every embroidered element on the shirt has its own meaning. Embroidery can tell about the region, family traditions, even health and well-being. The embroidered shirt has become not only part of everyday clothing, but also a symbolic element of national struggle, cultural preservation and self-expression.

Now, especially in the context of war, the embroidered shirt has become another symbol of the resilience of Ukrainians, our aspirations for freedom and independence, as well as national unity. It is part of our cultural resistance.
