After Easter, all Christians prepare for the bright day of Radonitsa. On this day, colored eggs and Easter cakes are left on the graves of deceased relatives. In addition, leave any present and flowers - fresh or artificial. But you can decorate the graves in another way - with a memorial ribbon. Any woman who has at least some knowledge of the art of cross stitch can make it with her own hands.

• Ritual ribbon is 1.5 - 2 meters long and approximately 20 cm wide. It can be bought in a ritual or regular store in the “Fabrics” section. If you can’t buy ready-made tape, you can replace it with regular curtain fabric, cut into wide strips and hemming the edges.
