To hide the vyshyvankas from the Russian occupiers Olena put them in jars and buried them in a greenhouse. In March, she and her husband celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in the embroidered shirts they had saved.

2. Er, Its interesting to see how fashions change….

3. What a marvelous clever couple. And even trolling by planting their garden in the shape of a trident (tryzub). Age has nothing to do with Ukrainian bravery – 7 years old to 103 do what they can.

   Happy 50th Anniversary and many more!
