Wedding Towels play an important role in wedding customs in Belarus.
Do you know: The colour and design of a wedding towel vary from region to region in Belarus.
For her wedding, the bride was made to tie a towel around her hand and drag it on the ground, on her way to church. The towel was said to mark the path for her friends who were to get married. The same towel was also dragged around the altar after the ceremony. These wedding towels are passed from one generation to another and wedding gifts are also packed in them.
