moodboardmix:MoodBoardMix Stand With Ukraine!Sunflowers (sunyashniki) are especially loved in Ukraine, where golden fields of them face the sunrise in the east. They are Ukraine’s national flower, and in folk imagery represent the warmth and power of the sun, which was worshipped by pre-Christian Slavs.To my Ukrainian followers, stay safe and strong !Love you all❤️ Still worshipped by non-Christian Slavs! Jarilo is our sun god and god of the harvest, including grains and seeds, such as sunflower seeds and wheat, which appears on Ukraine’s flag as the yellow band. Jarilo is also the god of defensive warfare - not of aggression or senseless destruction but of self defense and protection.We pray each day for Jarilo to be with the Ukrainian people, protecting them and lending strength to their soldiers.Slava Jarilo! Slava Ukraine! -- source link
