In this episode, Halyna shares the story of an ancient Ukrainian holiday that feels a bit like Halloween — but warmer, cozier, and full of family memories. She explains what Didy is, how Ukrainians celebrate it, and how you can bring these traditions into your own home. Each section of the episode is repeated twice for easier listening. Gentle, festive, and full of magic.

You’ll pick up new lines:

• «Українське свято Дідів святкують у ніч з тридцять першого жовтня на перше листопада.» — “The Ukrainian holiday Didy is celebrated on the night of October 31 to November 1.”
• «Можна приготувати ваші улюблені страви української кухні.» — “You can cook your favorite Ukrainian dishes.”
• «Я рада ділитися з вами теплом!» — “I’m happy to share warmth with you.”
