Instead of just buying willow branches, we decided to create them with our own hands. Instead of decorating quickly, allow yourself to slow down a little and live this process.This is how they prepared for the Feast of the Lord's Entry into Jerusalem in the space of the NGO "Bera i Slav"., better known as Palm Sunday
.
.For some, the consecration of the willow this year will be the first time away from home. Someone will do this in Drohobych for the fourth time. Each has its own story, its context, your feelings. But it was this master class that became a meeting point — a quiet one, warm and very common
.
.In the hands of women and girls, twigs with fluffy buds changed and came to life. Delicate ribbons appeared somewhere, somewhere - dried flowers, somewhere - minimalistic accents. And in this process there was much more, than decor: it was about condition, about attention to yourself, about the opportunity to create something of your own — simple and at the same time symbolic
.
.Master class trainer Olena Sherstyuk supported the participants in this process: helped to choose the decor, worked, how to combine branches with ribbons and dried flowers, suggested details — but left room for everyone's own decisions and mood.
It was not only preparation for the holiday. It was time, when it was possible to stop for a while, to be together, to feel support in simple things and create something beautiful — with your own hands and in your own rhythm.
І, perhaps, it is precisely such moments that fill the holidays with real meaning
