In the week that Ukrainians celebrated Vyshyvanka Day, the Â鶹Éç's Marta Shokalo explains the significance of these traditional embroidered shirts and the stories they tell. The days when women spent the winter embroidering are past, but the vyshyvanka is still deeply rooted in Ukrainian lives. (Picture shows Marta and her bridesmaids on the day before her wedding.
