Village Wedding in Western Ukraine

[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

Announcing a major update to our Ukrainian Traditional Folklore website.

We have added extensive documentation of a wedding celebrated in the  
village of Pidhaitsy just outside Lutsk.  This wedding was filmed last  
summer (2008) and combines an interesting mix of traditional and  
modern elements.  There are still shots and videos.  To go directly to  
the new material, click on:

The site, the main page of which is listed below, also has some minor  
updates - a video of korovai maker in Vegreville, Alberta, Canada,  
some additional Ukrainian Canadian churches, some updates on churches  
filmed earlier (the one near Bruderhiem was closed on August 23, 2008).
