Ukrainian traditions live on through family memories — in recipes passed down from generation to generation, the aroma of freshly baked bread, the taste of shulyky, baskets filled with ripe apples, and cherished memories of home. These traditions connect the past with the present and help preserve our cultural heritage, wherever we may live.

We warmly invite you to a special event, "The Taste of Ukrainian Traditions at the Saviour Feasts: Stories, Recipes, and the Memory of the Ukrainian Home," dedicated to the rich traditions of the three Ukrainian Saviour Feasts (Spasy).

📅 Sunday, 2 August
🕐 1:00 PM
📍 Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church Hall
91 Buckley Street, Essendon VIC

✨ Program highlights:
🍎 Discover the history and traditions of the Ukrainian Saviour Feasts (Spasy);
📖 Family stories, treasured recipes, and memories shared across generations;
