We send you warm Spring Greetings, Easter Greetings, Velykden' (Great Day) Greetings! May the Easter blessing of New Life & Hope fill your life. As the cold and frozen earth around us has transformed into a green world abuzz with birdsong and bright flowers, may your homes and hearts be filled with life-giving energy, hope, love. 

Let us count our blessings, and thank the Creator for making it through the winter. Though spring has come early in Ontario, it's surely been a long winter for all of us. We can barely wait til this sickness passes and we are all able to meet again, feast together, and dance and sing in each other's good embraces.

Until then, please hold those you can, or beat them gently with a blessed pussywillow ;) to wish them good health (as our Slavic ancestors have done for centuries!): "Be as tall as the willow, as healthy as the water, and as rich as the earth".

We miss you all so dearly. 💕Stay safe!

Да село, наше село

Ой чогось ж й не весело

Бо дєвочки замуж вийшли

Нема кому на село вийти

Нема кому на село вийти

Та село звеселити

Та виходьте селянки

Заспіваєм веснянки

Зимовали на печі спали

Сорочки не напрали

Да село наше село

Ой того ж не весело

Our village, oh why is it not happy and gay there?

The gals have all got married

There's no one to go out into the streets with...

and cheer up the town

Oh come out you villagers, let's sing the spring songs!

All winter we spent sleeping, keeping warm by the hearth,

not even washing our shirts...

Oh our village, oh so that's why it's not gay!
