The Word Became Fresh Volume 3, Number 1, 2014 ISBN 978-962-7673-279 ISSN 2324-6375 Cover Photo On the outskirts of Ekaterinburg, Russia’s fourth largest city, near the monument that marks where the continents of Asia and Europe meet, is a small wooded park where the trees are covered with brightly covered ribbons. Tradition has it that newlyweds tie ribbons there to commemorate their vows and seek good luck for their lives together. We choose this photo to convey participation can be as two people, can be built through tradition, and can be catalytic in the forming and driving a movement.
