Lullaby 2020

  Lullaby  represents  typical for  Russian  culture  hanging  cradle,  in tradition of Orthodox Church there is a believe that if a baby sleeps under the ground it is protected by the  heaven,  so  until  these  objects  are  hanging  they  are  protected. At  the  same  time  word  Lullaby derives from from "Lilith-Abi" (Hebrew for "Lilith, begone"). In the Jewish tradition, Lilith was a demon who would steal  children's  souls  in  the  night.  To  protect the children from  Lilith,  Jewish  mothers  would hang four amulets on nursery walls with the inscription "Lilith – abei" ("Lilith – begone")
