Ukrainian wreath

The Ukrainian wreath (Ukrainian: вінок, romanized: vinok, pronounced [wiˈnɔk] ⓘ) is a type of wreath which, in traditional Ukrainian culture, is worn by girls and young unmarried women. The wreath may be part of a tradition dating back to East Slavic customs that predate the Christianization of Kievan Rus'. The flower wreath remains a part of the Ukrainian national attire, and is worn on festive occasions and on holy days, and since the 2014 Ukrainian revolution increasingly in daily life as part of a wider cultural revival.
