Glad Tidings

The birds here are prayers. Turned towards the sky, turned towards God.

In folk beliefs as in Orthodox culture, in the culture of icon painting, birds are a symbol of hope.

And a bird holding a sprig in its beak heralds good news — an answer to our dreams and longings

On the ELENANIKA silk scarf, birds stepped down from old icons, birds with human faces, stand for angels bringing a favourable answer to prayers. 

The sun, the cycle of the moon. They also stand for each year and each month.

The ribbon is reversible: on the back you will find the lunar cycle, which forever influences a woman, and again the birds bearing glad tidings, with the sun at the centre.

Wear this elegant ribbon when you are waiting for news; wear it for luck and for success in your affairs. 

Tie it at the neck like a scarf, wrap it around the throat placing at the centre the bird, the sun with the moon, or the current lunar phase.. Knot it at the back and let the silk ends fly behind you.

The twilly is long, so you can tie it in a bow through the belt loops of jeans or trousers. Wrap it around the wrist, tie it to a bag, or use it in place of a trench coat belt. Give glad tidings to yourself and to those you love
