Preserving the Homeland in a Sacred Space

Pokrova Ukrainian Catholic Church

Embark on a tour of Pokrova Ukrainian Catholic Church to learn how sacred spaces are pivotal to the preservation of Ukrainian culture in a diaspora community. Candlelight flickering on icons, intricate embroidered and beaded vestments, and the traditional art of pysnki are part of deeply felt remembrances of traditional distinctive Ukrainian celebrations of Easter. As we journey together during the joyous time of Eastertide, we will discover the meaning behind the stunning icons and the methods of their creation, view vestments used in worship, as well as folk embroidery that was part of everyday life, and see a demonstration of the creation of pysanki eggs.

Be a part of a unique celebration that helps preserve a culture.
