Didukh
A ''diduch'', or ''didukh'' ((ウクライナ語:дідух)), is a Ukrainian Christmas decoration; made from a sheaf of wheat, it is a symbolic sacrifice taken from the best of the autumn harvest. "''Didukh''" literally means "the spirit of ancestors". ''Didukhy'' are traditionally made from the first or the last stalks of wheat reaped during the year. It symbolizes the household's wish for an abundance of nature and a bountiful harvest for the upcoming year.〔
