From ancient times floral symbols were very important for Ukrainians. Plants are signs of Ukrainian spiritual strength, they confirm people’s love for their country.
Mak (poppy) is a flower of dreams, fertility, beauty and youth. It also symbolizes infinity of the universe. The flower is still used in two religious festivals – Spas and Makoviy. Poppy seeds are one of the main ingredients of kutya – dish consumed by Ukrainians at Christmas.Ukrainians call sunflower “sonyashnyk” (sontse – sun) as a symbol of solar energy. It also symbolizes fecundity and fertility, unity and well-being.Cornflower or voloshka is one of twelve flowers traditionally used in Ukrainian wreath. It symbolizes life, youth, beauty, modesty and simplicity. Ukrainians believed that the flower was a potent protector against evil forces and all sorts of misfortunes.

Poland - the fourth element is a red apple.
There are so many symbols of Poland that are associated with Polish culture and traditions. One of them is a red apple that can be found in almost all Polish gardens. Have a look at our visrtual logo.
The next element is tradition and culture.
The Ukrainian wreath (Ukrainian: vinok) is a type of wreath which, in traditional Ukrainian culture, is worn by girls and young unmarried women. The wreath may be part of a tradition dating back to the old East Slavic customs that predate the Christianization of Rus. The flower wreath remains a part of the Ukrainian national attire, and is worn on festive occasions and on holy days and since the 2014 Ukrainian revolution increasingly in daily life.
