At the National Preserve of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a tribute was held to honor the memory of women who died for Ukraine, marked by the planting of a tulip tree.
The choice of this plant was intentional, as the organizers pointed out that the tulip tree symbolizes the preservation of life and strength over many years.
The tree is set to be planted in the area between St. Nicholas Church (building No. 25) and the Cells (building No. 4) on Lavrska Street, 9.
The planting ceremony was dedicated to servicewomen, healthcare workers, volunteers, journalists, and other women who sacrificed their lives for Ukraine.
“Together, we have created a memorial space for Ukrainian women whose lives were taken by war. The tulip tree that has appeared in the Lavra area symbolizes our respect and shared responsibility.
It is important for us that a symbol has emerged here that unites society in the desire to preserve the memory of their contributions and dedication for future generations,” commented acting director of the Preserve, Svitlana Kotliarevska.
