Easter is more than just a date on the calendar. For Christians, it is a day when the world is filled with special meaning: faith, hope and quiet but confident joy. 


In 2026, on April 5, Western rite believers – Roman Catholics and Protestants – will celebrate Easter a week earlier than the Eastern tradition. According to estimates from the Papal Yearbook and other sources, the total number of Catholics (including Greek Catholics) exceeds 4.8 million, and a significant part of the communities live in western Ukraine.


The Visit Ukraine team sincerely congratulates everyone who celebrates Easter today and wishes you inner peace, strength and faith that does not fade even in the most difficult times. May this day bring warmth, comfort and a sense of unity with loved ones to your homes - regardless of distances. May your heart be filled with light, and your thoughts with confidence in tomorrow.




In a world that changes every day, such holidays become especially important. They bring us back to simple truths: to support each other, to preserve humanity and to believe in the best.


On this day, we also want to thank you for your trust in Visit Ukraine, for remaining part of a community built on mutual support. It is from such simple but sincere things that a sense of unity is formed, which we want to preserve not only on holidays.

Sometimes it is important not only to feel these meanings, but also to have small reminders of them in everyday life. That is why we at Visit Ukraine create things that carry a piece of the Ukrainian spirit - simple, sincere and strong.


T-shirts, hoodies, caps or hats with Ukrainian symbols can become not just an element of the wardrobe, but a way to maintain a connection with important values. Like comfortable bags, backpacks or even cups - the same little things that make up everyday comfort.


It is about the warmth that is nearby. About memory. And about the light that we choose to carry on.


If these meanings resonate with you, you can always choose something special from the Visit Ukraine merchandise collection for yourself or your loved ones - things that will remind you of what is important every day and will keep a piece of Ukraine close to you, wherever you are.




Once again, happy Easter!


With best wishes - the Visit Ukraine team
