Blue and Yellow

The Ukrainian flag returned in 1991 when Ukraine secured its independence from the Soviet Union. This flag contains two stripes, in which the light blue field on top symbolizes the sky and the bottom yellow field evokes the wheat for which the country is so famous. Interestingly, Ukrainian uses independent words for light blue (holobih) and dark blue (ceni). If you look up the word blue in an English/Ukrainian dictionary, both options appear.

My parents gave altar flowers for Mikola's baptism last Sunday. As you can see from the photo below, light blue and yellow dominated the display, which was designed by one of Trinity's members.
