This straw didukh resembles the tree of life. It is not surprising because Didukh is one of the oldest decorations for the house that Ukrainians decorated their homes with for Christmas. It is a symbol of the best grain donations in agricultural cultures. Didukh is a bundle of hay, which was first brought into the house on Christmas Eve. Only men could bring didukh to the house, the father, and his eldest son. Didukh was put in the icon corner, this is a sacred place in the house. There were icons, wedding candles, and the Bible. Didukh is also a sacred thing. It was standing in the corner throughout the winter, until the first heat. In the spring he was burned, it marked the end of the cold weather. It is said that the tradition of making "bread tree", started back when Jesus Christ was born. He was born in a stein, where it was very cold. In the wall, Joseph found a gap and closed it with a sheaf of straw. Since then there is a tradition on Christmas Eve to put didukh in the corner - a symbol of comfort and warmth. You can take part in the traditions of the Ukrainians by buying this luxurious Didukh. This is work of a master Raisa Pavlenko.
