[aaus-list] Village Wedding in Western Ukraine

[by way of Robert DeLossa]

Announcing a major update to our Ukrainian Traditional Folklore website.

We have added extensive documentation of a wedding celebrated in the 
village of Pidhaitsy just outside Lutsk.  This wedding was filmed 
last summer (2008) and combines an interesting mix of traditional and 
modern elements.  There are still shots and videos.  To go directly

The site, the main page of which is listed below, also has some minor 
updates - a video of korovai maker in Vegreville, Alberta, Canada, 
some additional Ukrainian Canadian churches, some updates on churches 
filmed earlier (the one near Bruderhiem was closed on August 23, 
2008).
