The book of essays "Living Tradition" by Ivanna Stefiuk is a fascinating journey into the world of the intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine, written at the intersection of science and lived experience. The author leads the reader from carols and malanka festivities to wedding cones, from Hutsul bodnarka and pysanka to Bessarabian weaving and the art of baking Easter eggs. This is not just a description of rituals and crafts, but a deep understanding of their spiritual meaning and vital energy that nourishes the community.
Ethnographic essays, born in expeditions, tell about the bearers of traditions, ethnographers from the people, cultural figures and masters, thanks to whom ancient customs do not disappear, but come to life in modern times.
