The Christmas spider is a traditional Ukrainian Christmas decoration that has its roots in folk culture. It symbolizes happiness and prosperity, so it is often used as a decoration for Christmas holidays.
Such "spiders" are considered a talisman and a symbol of the universe. On the eve of Christmas, they were hung from the central beam of the house on a long hair from a horse's tail. Thanks to the air circulation in the house, the spider rotates in different directions. Usually a carnivorous spider is made of straw. It can be made in the form of a large geometric spider or a simpler elongated shape. It was believed that this straw spider absorbed negative energy from the house for a year, into the web of its structure. Traditionally, Ukrainian houses were decorated with straw decorations for the winter holidays. Crystal beads complete the design and add a festive glow and sparkle
Our Charovani spiders are handmade from rye straw and strung on strong white thread.
