Ukrainian Museum of Canada Ontario Branch

A vyshyvanka is more than an embroidered shirt — it is history you can wear. Each stitch carries memory, identity, and a shared cultural language shaped by region, village, and hand. On Vyshyvanka Day, we honour this living tradition and the enduring threads that connect generations. 💙💛

З днем вишиванки! Happy Vyshyvanka Day!
