UNWLA Branch 78 Report On Sunday, January 19, the recently established Branch 78 (W ashington, D.C.) of the Uk rainian National Women’s League of America held its first social function. “Prosphora,” the traditional U krainian Christm as Eve dinner, was given by the members in the parish house of Holy Fam ily U krainian Catholic Church. The dinner was very well attended by members and friends of the League. The trad i tional dishes were tastefully pre pared by many of the ladies themselves. Mrs. Rose Siokalo, president, acted as m istress of ceremonies. Reverend Theodore Danusiar, pastor of Holy Fam ily Ukrainian Catholic Church, gave the invo cation. This was followed by the singing of perhaps the m ost fam ous of Ukrainian Christm as car ols, “Boh Predvichny.” The Prosphora was then distributed and shared with all present by Mrs. Olena Kanda. Throughout the evening, greetings were ex tended by members and guests. Mrs. Myroslawa Skaskiw spoke in U krainian on the beautiful customs and traditions surround ing a U krainian Christm as cele bration. For a brief moment, 9- year-old Peter Siokalo tran s form ed the dining room into a Ukrainian home as m any pres ent recalled the traditional strew ing of wheat w ith the words, “Sij sia, rodesia, zheto, corner to be helpful in suggest ing ways of applying U krainian peasant a rt in the modern home of today, although far removed from the source of its originality, but modified to lend itself to use fulness in every room of our home. If you are a woman who wants her home to be a source of pride and delight to her, you can spin your own artistic web, and make it very beautiful indeed. Your home is the backdrop for your life, w hether it be a villa or a room -apartm ent. It should be honestly your own — an expres sion of your own personality! pshenecia і vsiaka pashnycia,” which Peter so ably dem onstrat ed. Miss Nadia O’Shea spoke in English on the beauty and signi ficance of U krainian Christm as customs and traditions and the furthering and continuation of this inherited culture. Mrs. Ha- lyna W arvariw, in expressing her best wishes to all, stressed the importance of keeping alive U krainian traditions, especially through our young people.

The event was closed with a prayer by F ather Danusiar, after which all joined in singing the many beautiful U krainian Christm as carols. Later, F ath er W ojnar held an informal talk on his a t tendance at the Ecumenical Council in Rome, with a question and answer period following. The time, effort, culinary art, and participation by all, made this first endeavor a truly suc cessful one. It is hoped th a t this has been a beginning to a wider furtherance of educational, cul tural, and traditional contribu tions on the p art of the U krain ian woman on the American scene. Vera A.
