A living chain and a procession

The Ukrainian community of Cyprus received the rushnyk from Spain and presented it in Larnaca; the report says that after presentations in the towns of Cyprus the cloth was to travel on to Norway. The Obiimy Ukrainian educational and cultural centre, the Ukrainian-Cypriot Friendship Society and the local Plast scouts ran the day with support from Ukraine's Embassy in the Republic of Cyprus: a living chain on the square in front of the Church of Saint Lazarus, then a procession with the cloth to the Anchor-Heart memorial that Odesa gave Larnaca in 2019. Cyprus has two rushnyky in the cloth, both worked to original designs by the Kyiv culturologist and craftswoman Oksana Martynenko. One is by Liolia Filimonova of the Friendship Society — her first piece of embroidery, finished in two months, carrying the Society's emblem and a tryzub in olive leaves among cornflowers and Greek meanders. The other is by Zoia Kernasovska for the Obiimy centre: a tree of life in the ornaments of Kherson region.

The report gives no date for the presentation itself; 28 October 2025 is the day it was published.
