Transcription

Wherever the Ukrainians live, their beautiful folkarts flourish. Be they handicrafts or music, the cultural life of the Ukrainians is rich.

Singing is the second language of the Ukrainians and this is especially evident in the celebration of the Divine Liturgy where congregational singing has always been the institution.

Ukrainian folk dancing is popular in this area. The young dancers present many public concerts throughout the state.

At Eastertide, the Easter egg unfolds. The pysanka is an egg aglow with brilliant designs created with wax and dye.

The cross-stitch embroidery is a folk art achieved with colored thread on material whose weave can be counted.

The Ukrainians have not forgotten their background after almost 80 years in this state.

This is Bicentennial Story No. 131, prepared by Ben Makaruk for the Stark County Historical Society.
