The decoration of the fir tree is made in the most delicate white colors - the emphasis is on the luxurious products of Veniz Lace.

Veniz comes from the word "Venice." According to the legend, Peter the Great, who wanted the Russian nobility to wear clothes with lace, ordered Venetian lacemakers to come to the convent of Kadom and teach the nuns their art.

Based on Venetian lace, Kadom needlewomen created their own version, called "veniz". Unlike lace, it is made with a needle and thread and has a base of fabric.
