1. Armenian quarter
Lviv became a refuge of Armenians back in the 13th century. Expelled from their lands, they were forced to seek for a new home.

Probably the most famous of them is the Armenian Cathedral, built in 1370.

Beach Dress Code of Ukrainian Brides. Part 2
An explosion broke out in 1946. More precisely, two explosions broke out. On July 1, the Americans conducted nuclear tests on the Bikini Atoll, and on July 5, fashion designer Louis Rear demonstrated his new model of a bathing suit, consisting of two parts.

Lviv has been meeting guests from different parts of the country and from abroad for many years. It seems that in the city of Leo everything breathes with history. Streets and houses keep the memory of what happened centuries ago.

The most important attribute of marriage is the wedding ring. There is no wedding at all without wedding rings. In fact, two conditions are required for a wedding: the bride and groom, and the presence of engagement rings. You can make wedding without a wedding dress, without a veil, without a wedding bouquet, without witnesses, guests, banquet and all other attributes of the wedding. Loving hearts perform the most intimate wedding ritual by putting a ring on the hand of your future life partner. Wedding rings bind two fates firmly and permanently, ideally – till the death.

A couple of decades ago, one-piece swimsuits were the fate of those who were shy of their body or simply could not buy an ordinary bikini. Yes, swimsuits were in short supply then. Women sewed them by themselves and shared them between each other.
Today, the choice of swimsuits of all types and kinds is amazing, and it seems that a one-piece swimsuit can be safely forgotten. Especially if a bathing suit is needed to relax near a pond or in the summer house, and not for sports.
