Ukrainian Bible Jewel Box ~ Antique
CAD $75.00
25 year wedding anniversary Ukrainian Bible Jewel Box features a prayer on its pages. It translates to “Our Father, as you are in heaven, may your name be sanctified. Let thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Our bread is our daily rain today and leave us our debts, just as we leave our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Amen.”
The beautiful Rushnyk style embroidery symbols and cryptograms of the ancient world cover it all around. Most people in the Ukrainian Canadian community are familiar with these Ukrainian- style ceramics. All of them strategically adorned with red, white, and black simulated embroidery design decals.
The “embroidery” patterns on these ceramics look like typical, intricate Ukrainian cross-stitch patterns. They would adorn objects like ceramic statues, candles, or busts of the Holy Mother or Christ Jesus. Dr. Robert Klymasz, folklorist and retired curator from the Canadian Museum of Civilization, coined an appropriate slogan, calling them “Ukrainian logos.” In North America (especially in the early years), they have become emblematic of Ukrainian Canadian identity.
