After Easter, all Christians prepare for the bright day of Radonitsa. On this day, painted eggs and cakes are left on the graves of deceased relatives. Other than that, leave any gifts and flowers - living or artificial. But you can decorate the graves in another way - a memorial ribbon. Any woman can do it with her own hands, at least a little knowledge of the art of cross-stitching.

To make the tape you need:
• Ritual tape 1.5 - 2 meters long and about 20 cm wide. You can buy it in a ritual or regular store in the "Fabrics" section. If you can’t buy a finished tape, you can replace it with a regular curtain fabric, cut into wide strips and cut edges.
