Christmas Spider “Constellation”

Description Christmas Spider “Constellation”

A new creation by Koza Dereza — the “Constellation” Christmas Spider is larger than the traditional design and evokes stars scattered across the night sky.

The Christmas Spider is a traditional, lightweight straw ornament for the home. Its geometric shape symbolizes the harmony and order of the universe — something so often missing from the modern world. Straw connects us to the earth, the ground we stand on and the source to which we owe so much. Making a spider is a family activity that reminds us of what matters most. Every element of this ornament is rooted in our history and traditions.

Traditionally, the ornament was hung from the ceiling, where rising warm air allowed it to spin gently. After the winter holidays, the spider was not taken down. Instead, it was decorated throughout the year with elements associated with other celebrations — pysanky (traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs) for Easter or herbs for Green Holidays, the Ukrainian celebration of Pentecost.

The Christmas Spider by Koza Dereza will bring warmth and coziness to Ukrainian homes, serving as a reminder of the continuity of our history and the enduring strength of our traditions.
