To the Residents of Novohrad-Volynsky,
organizers, participants and guests
of the International holiday of literature and art
"Lesyni Dzherela"
Dear residents and guests of the town!
I sincerely welcome you on the holiday glorified by the name of a brilliant Ukrainian poetess that draws us closer to the eternal values and national spirit, turns the modern generation to the sources of Ukrainian nation, elates and testifies of the historic connection of the time and generations.
It is pleasant to state that inspirational sources of this wonderful holiday cover wider and wider social spaces each year, that their cultural-artistic and spiritual swirling becomes more powerful, that their scope and social importance becomes more vivid and clear.
The blessed land of Zhytomyr region, rich in the national and historic traditions, preserves the sources of its existence. Today the immortal words of the great Poetess sound in the ancient Zviahel with power and passion, as they are addressed to our common wisdom and responsibility.
I wish you peace, welfare and happiness.
Volodymyr LYTVYN
