Traditional Ukrainian Ceremonial Towel / Table Runner

Ukrainian ceremonial towel (a rushnyk or rushnik) is a decorative and ritual cloth. It is a mythical relic from the pre-Christian era that has survived, without change, to this day. Made of fabric, it usually represents woven or embroidered designs, symbols and cryptograms of the ancient world. A colorful ritual cloth embroidered by hand with symbols and cryptograms traditionally are used in sacred rituals, religious services and ceremonial events.

Traditional Ukrainian towels are powerful amulets. These towels with embroidery are made following the ancient traditions of Slavic folklore. You can use a towel as a nice table runner, which is not only a beautiful decoration of the house, but also a talisman of your house from any troubles.
