Sheet “Under the Protection of the Virgin Mary” 2024

The most beautiful stamp of Ukraine in 2024!

On October 1, the country honors Ukrainian defenders, remembering all those who have defended and are currently defending the freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, regardless of their occupation or gender. The Day of Defenders of Ukraine is inextricably linked to the development of the Ukrainian army and military traditions. Modern warriors multiply them, honor military brotherhood and mutual assistance, bow their heads to the fallen and celebrate the heroism of the living. The history of the holiday has a long tradition. On this day, the Cossacks solemnly celebrated the feast of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, so it received a second name - Cossack Intercession. Today, let us remember the deeds of all generations of fighters for the freedom of Ukraine. Let us pay tribute to all those who died. Let's show respect to all living defenders!
