The team of snig.digital design bureau has created a project that has collected dozens of old postcards from Ukrainian illustrators of the past.
"A collection of original and characteristic Ukrainian postcards: we want to remind you how heartbreakingly beautiful the aesthetics of Ukrainian Christmas are," snig.digital said on its website.
The cards, which were created many years ago by Ukrainian designers and illustrators, depict the traditions of Christmas celebrations and wishes for family and friends for the holidays.
While looking through the cards, you can play the famous Carol of the Bells (Shchedryk) and immerse yourself in Ukrainian Christmas culture.
Each card has information about its title, author, and year of creation, as well as an attached greeting. The collection includes cards from 100 years ago. All of them can be sent to friends on social media and bring them closer to the authentic culture of their ancestors.
"We developed this project with the idea of the continuity of Ukrainian tradition, the desire to pay tribute to illustrators and designers of the past,and most importantly, to share our passion for Ukrainian fine art with as many people as possible," the design bureau team said in the project description.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
