A Ukrainian or Polish Wedding?

Painted in 1999, this mural is at 303 Selkirk Avenue.

I’m a tiny bit Polish heritage, and this looks Polish to me.

A beautiful bride & groom…..

…reflected in a truck!

This could be Ukrainian.

Artist: Richard Manoakeesick

I want to be corrected, should anyone know the particulars!

both traditional clothing can be similar, I said can be because there are many variations depending on region. And it used to be one country… a long, long time ago 😉

  🙂 That’s true, boundaries have been redefined throughout history.
  Thank you for pointing that out!

The man on the last image seems to be a miner. The symbol on his hat (with crossed tools looking like hammers hint at mining. But I am not sure about the woman. Could be Polish.
