Jenkintown nursery school pupils learn about Ukrainian heritage

Thirty children from the Ukrainian Gold Cross Nursery School in Jenkintown, Pa., visited Manor College's Ukrainian Heritage Studies Center to learn about Ukrainian culture, heritage and traditional arts. During this visit, organized each year by the nursery school, children create their own versions of Trypillian pottery, an ancient design found in Ukraine. In the photo above curator Chrystyna Prokopovych displays a Ukrainian Hutsul belt called a "cheres" that is worn when lifting heavy objects.
