Iryna Ihnatenko. Etnolohia dlya narodu. Holidays, traditions, customs, rituals, superstitions, and believes of Ukrainians. (Ethnology for the People)

"Currently, significant interest is inspired by customs and traditions of our ancestors. In an engaging and exciting way, this book speaks about rituals and signs by not only describing them, but also explaining how daily affairs and needs formed their basis. You will learn about folk believes associated with calendar holidays, with the life cycle of an individual: matchmaking and marriage, childbirth, baptizing, funerals. Why did they put a comb and a handkerchief under the bed? Why did they smash pots at wedding? In which cases a woman made no knots when trimming a shirt? How did they choose a place for a new house? Why did they shower the threshold with poppy seeds?
