Summary: The article examines the transformations that took place with the mythical images “tree of life” and “sun” in the folk worldview of Ukrainians the pagan era to the present. The sources were the texts of the oldest Ukrainian folklore works, written monuments of the Kievan Rus period, scientific research of East Slavic ethnologists, folklorists and dialectologists of the 19th and 20th centuries, field records on ethnographic topics. Considered in a comparative typological aspect, the ancient texts of folk poetry and literary works, descriptions of the spiritual practices of past generations of Ukrainians, the traditions preserved by the people in rituals and in arts and crafts, testify to the deep sacred etymology of the mythologems “tree of life” and the “sun” in the picture of the world of the Ukrainian people’s ancestors, its consonance with other ethnic groups in the context of world culture. In the Ukrainians’ national picture of the world, the mythical images of the “tree of life”, the “sun” underwent transformations under the influence of changes in worldview guidelines. The forms of embodiment of these mythologemes in the Ukrainians worldview of the 21st century, as expected, narrowed down to metaphorical images, but not only are not lost, but tend to be preserved, thanks to the revival of national identity in the public consciousness.
