One of the rushnyks that we used
I just love it!
And I love how we can celebrate the feasts in our homes
in visual ways...
icons, change of linens, table clothes.
in our wedding
was blue and white;
it is the one we stood on before the table where
our crowns and the Gospel book were place on.
This past weekend I put this rushnyk one on our
buffet by the window.
I just love it!

St. John of Shanghai and Sans Francisco
and St. Phanourios.
Both very important Saints for
Mr. Husband and I.
It is a blessing to have this rushnyk out and
have reminders of our wedding.
*
It is such a blessing that the wedding ceremony is a
sacrament and that in Christ
the man and woman are united in Christ
through this sacrament.
*
Mr. Husband and I will God-willing
be at two local weddings this summer.
*
I am so glad that summer is here!

What a beautiful blue...we have a red and white one! ♥ I thought of you yesterday as we drove by a Dutch windmill in Pella, Iowa.
Lovely rushnyk! Thank you for your recent encouraging comments. This post makes me think very much of Edith Schaeffer's book The Hidden Art of Homemaking. I remember you posted about it a while ago - have you acquired a copy yet? I can recommend it. I had my mum's copy for several years - but had to give it back! time to get my own, I think ;)
Thanks Martha! Nice about the windmill!
Anna ~ thank you! :) I have not gotten the book yet... I think I may have to get it from the library at some point and maybe ask for it for Christmas or birthday... :)
Hi Elizabeth!
Your rushnyk and your icon are beautiful! I love the textiles used in creating beautiful, holy spaces in the Russian tradition! I'd never heard of a rushnyk before, but I'd love to learn more.
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog today! It means so much.

Your welcome Xenia! anytime! I would go to the link on the Rushynk in this post. I got mine from Kiev via my Ukrainian family. I think this one is done on a commercial level on a loom of some sort. Praying for you!
