The Korovai is a traditional Ukrainian wedding bread that symbolizes community. The parents of the newlyweds greet them with bread and salt of the earth. The korovai is adorned with ornaments of baked dough: two birds represent the couple, and other ornaments represent family and friends. The entire arrangement is surrounded by sprigs of myrtle, a symbol of love and purity. It can be shared with the guests as a symbol of good luck and future prosperity.

Happy Ukrainian Language day!

🎉 Happy Ukrainian Language Day! 🎉

Today, let's dive into the colorful and playful world of the Ukrainian language with some fun facts that are sure to surprise you! Here are five intriguing tidbits:

👉A Rich History: The Ukrainian language emerged in the 6th-7th centuries AD, evolving from Proto-Slavic. Scholar Yuriy Shevelov identified key periods in its development, including Proto-Ukrainian from the mid-9th century and Old Ukrainian from the late 14th century.

👉Synonym Sensation: The word "horizon" has a fantastic 12 synonyms! But the real star is the verb "to beat," which boasts an incredible 45 synonyms! With so many options, you'll never run out of ways to express yourself!

👉Literary Superstar: Ukrainian literature shines on the global stage, especially with Taras Shevchenko's "Testament," the most translated Ukrainian poem, available in 147 languages! Talk about a literary ambassador!

👉Busting Myths: Many think Ukrainian is just a cousin of Russian, but that's a myth! Belarusian is actually the closest relative, sharing 84% vocabulary overlap, followed by Polish (70%) and Serbian (68%). Russian comes in at 62%. Ukrainian truly stands out in its own right!

👉Modern Ukrainian: The publication of Ivan Kotlyarevsky's poem "Eneida" in the late 18th century marked a pivotal moment, signaling the beginning of modern Ukrainian literary language. Rather than Church Slavonik, Eneida was written in vernacular Ukrainian, understood by all.

Happy World Bread Day!! 🍞 🥐🥯🥖🥨🥪🥧

World Bread Day is an international observance celebrated on October 16 every year.

Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods. It is possible that people used starch extract from the roots of plants to cook a primitive form of flatbread as early as 30,000 years ago. Grains became the mainstay of making bread with the dawn of Neolithic age. The ancient Egyptians are believed to be the first to use yeast to leaven the dough.

It is usually made from wheat, but bread can be also made from other grains, including rye, barley, oats, maize, rice, millet, and sorghum. If you can turn it into a powder you can make it into a flour! Nuts, banana, cassava, soybeans, acorns, coconut, chickpea, beans, potato, fruit, etc. In many cuisines, there are traditional bread recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

For just about every occasion Ukrainians have a special bread. Since Ancient times, Ukraine was an agricultural community known in recent times as the ‘Breadbasket of Europe’. Bread was considered a gift from the gods, a symbol of life. If a piece fell on the ground, it was never thrown away, any crumbs were given to the animals. The ancient symbols on decorated ritual breads signify prosperity, eternity, peace, and hospitality. Since 988, when Ukraine became a Christian nation, some of the bread symbols have taken on a Christian meaning.

Each region of Ukraine has its traditions and names for these ritual breads. In some cases, special songs were sung, or specific words spoken depending on the occasion. Ukrainians bake bread for the beginning of life, holidays like Easter and Christmas, Saint Days, Weddings, Housewarmings, Harvests, and Funerals. Homemade bread recipes and traditions were handed down from mother to daughter. There are many sayings about bread. One common one is, “Where bread and water, there is no hunger.”

Here are just a few names of Ukrainian Breads: Babka, Kolach, P***a, Shyshky, Holubky, Knysh, Pyrizhky, Zhaivoronky, Palanytsia, Pampushky, Kalyta, Balabushky, Pomana and of course Korovai!

This week was a quadruple Korovai baking week. Pick your favorite! 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣

National Vodka Day is commemorated on October 4th. 🍸 What is your favorite vodka drink? 🥃🍹

The name “vodka” comes from a diminutive form of the Slavic word voda (water), which means little water. It was first produced in Kyivan Rus’, which is now Ukraine, during the 9th century. Traditionally it is made by distilling liquid from fermented cereal grains. Potatoes have been used in more recent times, and some modern brands use fruits, honey, or maple sap as the base.

The word vodka was recorded for the first time in 1405 in Akta Grodzkie, the court documents from the Palatinate of Sandomierz in Poland. At the time, wódka referred to medicines and cosmetic products, while the beverage was called gorzałka (from the Old Polish gorzeć meaning "to burn"), which is also the source of Ukrainian horilka (горілка) or Belarusian harelka (гарэлка). The word vodka written in Cyrillic appeared first in 1533, in relation to a medicinal drink brought from Poland to russia by the merchants of Kievan Rus', now Ukraine.

Vodka is not originally a russian product. A type of distilled liquor designated by the russian word vodka came to russia in the late 14th century via Poland. russia is ranked as the leading country in vodka consumption, per capita in the world, with the average monthly consumption per person in the country being estimated to be 17.28 shots! Boycott all russian made vodkas! 🇺🇦

Today, Vodka is the most widely consumed spirit in the world. So raise a glass and toast in Ukrainian 🇺🇦: Na Zdorovya - To Your Health!!

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Dear Ukraine supporters, please contact President Biden, your Senators and your Congressman by email 📧 and by phone ☎️, and demand to let Ukraine Strike Back.

Urge them to lift any existing restrictions on Ukraine's ability to use U.S.-provided long-range weapons to strike legitimate military targets inside Russian territory.

💙💛🙏 Please advocate for promptly deliver the promised advanced air defense systems, missile defense systems and ammunition.

📧Here is how you can contact President Biden: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

☎️You can call and/or message the White House comment line at (202) 456-1111. Lines are open Tuesday-Thursday 11 am-3 pm, it can take appr. 15 min of waiting time in queue to talk to an agent, and you will have the option to leave your message - this effort takes around 4 minutes.

Please call daily, until the restrictions are lifted.

You can find your elected officials here 👉: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials?fbclid=IwY2xjawFFeBVleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHX32_3me85EDT44XRBD5cTTitrYzeIx16z4ex5sPnmriHO3WC-ofTSyjrQ_aem_FfXgY4ndvudaIPuFHClq5w

Feel free to use this SAMPLE CORRESPONDENCE, provided by the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America 👇:

Dear Mr. President:

I implore you to allow Ukraine the capacity to strike deeply into russian territory at military and strategic installations. Such actions would prevent russia from launching missiles and rockets into Ukraine that kill innocent civilians, as evidenced by this morning's missile attacks in Poltava that killed nearly 50 and injured hundreds more!

As a strategic partner of Ukraine, it is our responsibility to assist Ukraine in its time of need.

PLEASE HELP UKRAINE! ALLOW UKRAINE THE CAPACITY FOR DEEP STRIKES INTO russia!

You can amplify your efforts by engaging your friends, family and colleagues to join this advocacy campaign.

💙💛 Thank you very much for your invaluable support for Ukraine.
