Braids of Eternity

More photos from Edmonton's Scott Kelby Worldwide photowalk. This bronze mural of a Ukrainian family sits by the wading pool on the north end of the grounds of the legislature. It is a tribute to the settlers that left thier homeland and came to Canada to start a new life. The long braid on the back of this statue reminded me of the braided decoration often seen on traditional Ukranian breads called "Paska". The braided bread is symbolic of eternal life which is what the settlers have given to our great country.
