I MHWKіашюмнмцяаацмдцгаїдажмідаик^ ^ Easter in Volhynia: from Willow Sunday to Easter Tuesday The text below is adapted from an article titled " Volhynian Easter Folk Traditions," that appeared in The Weekly, 40 years ago, on April 7, 1942.

In Volhynia the observance of the traditional Easter customs begins a week before Easter, on "Willow Sunday" just as it does in other parts of Ukraine. On that Sunday, every­ one in the village goes to church, in order to receive at the end of the liturgy, during the anointing, a blessed pussy willow branch. In distributing the willows, the priest tries to give ones with the most catkins to the older people, because tradition holds that as many catkins as there are on the willow, so many stacks of wheat will one's crop bring that year. Lighted candles are some­ times fastened to the branches of the willows. Upon emerging from the church, the young people strike one another with the willows saying: "The willow strikes, not I, in a week Easter will be here." Families gather in front of the church to bless their Easter that sustains life. The traditional foods .that are blessed Returning from church with lighted baskets, as depicted in a glasspainting by Yaroslava include: paska, (the Easter bread), ham, sausage, butter, candles and the willow branches, the Surmach Mills.

CHANGES IN ADVERTISING RATES IN THE SV0B0DA UKRAINIAN-LANGUAGE DAILY AND THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY In view of the fact that postage rates for the mailing of Svoboda and The Ukrainian Weekly have increased by over 100 percent, as well as due to the increasing costs of newsprint and other printing supplies, the Svoboda Press administrative offices are forced to raise the rates for advertising in both news­ papers. Effective April 1, 1982, the following will be the new advertising rates for Svoboda and The Ukrainian Weekly. 1 column/inch (1 inch by single column): fraternal and community advertisements S 6.00 general advertisements S10.00 Note: All advertisements which span the full eight-column page of Svoboda are subject to the S 10.00 per column/inch rate. If the advertisement requires a photo reproduction there is an additional charge as follows: single column S 8.00 double column S10.00 triple column ?. 112.00 Deadlines for submitting advertisements: Svoboda: two days prior to desired publication date.
