Modern women with traditional Ukrainian crowns give a new meaning to an old tradition.

Slavic workshop Treti Pivni has done an amazing work of wearing traditional Ukrainian headdresses by women and children. The ambition of this is to share a message of peace, tenderness, and knowledge of Ukrainian culture with the whole world.

Traditionally only young and unmarried women wear these headdresses. It is a sign of their “Purity” and marital eligibility. In the pre-Christian era, there was a belief that girls could be protected from evil spirits. But after the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution, it is said that these head coverings will be used to symbolize national pride.

Let’s see some pictures of traditional Ukrainian headdresses worn by younger women and children.
