Ukraine (Observance)Although it’s not a public holiday in the Ukraine but is more like an observance, it’s still an extremely popular holiday as it’s a day when Ukrainian art and culture can be embraced by the masses.
The History Of Cultural Workers and Folk Artists Day In The Ukraine
Although we’re unsure when this holiday was created, we do know why this holiday was created. The Ukraine is in a geographic location that allows it to be influenced by not only western Europe but also Russia. As a result, there’s a serious danger of traditional Ukrainian culture being watered down by these influences.
And that’s why Cultural Workers and Folk Artists Day was invented in the Ukraine and continues to be observed to this day. It’s a day in which Ukrainian culture can not only be celebrated but promoted.
