Christmas is one of the most beautiful and favorite holidays in our country!! They prepare for this holiday with special trepidation !!

Even those who cannot call themselves believers will be happy to plunge into the atmosphere of the evening: kindness, family comfort and faith in the best. For some, it's just 12 dishes on the table, kutya, uzvar and gatherings with the closest. Others take the holiday seriously, attending church and observing all the customs.

Orthodox Ukrainians celebrate Christmas according to the Julian calendar - on January 7….Christmas began from the moment when a star appeared in the sky announcing the birth of Jesus. And the Bethlehem shepherds, when they saw the sign, went to the savior with gifts: incense, gold and myrrh..
