Rushnik

 * rushnik A narrow linen cloth, sometimes referred to as a towel, that was embroidered at both ends, and that held a place of great importance in traditional Ukrainian households. The rushnik was ceremonially bound around the joined hands of a young couple during the marriage ceremony. It was also used in the traditional greeting ceremony, when an offering of bread and salt would be made on the rushnik. When not being used ceremonially, the rushnik would be draped over the icons in the home. (Encyclopedia of Russian & Slavic Myth and Legend) --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 12:34, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
