May 19 is the Ukraine Embroidery day! This picture is dedicated to the Kirovohrad region. From ancient times in Ukraine poppies were consecrated. People and cattle were sown with them. People believed that the poppy has a magical power that protects against all evil. Poppy motifs can be seen on the shirts of the Kirovohrad region. <br><br><div class="t-sm c-light">Source: <a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/141445929/Ukrainian-embroidery" target="_blank" class="_">Julia Ershova</a></div>
