The beautiful "Carol of the Bells" a popular Christmas carol, with music by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych, opens this video clip of our whimsical mascot Guy Kistka celebrating Ukrainian Christmas Eve by honouring and remembering the rich traditions celebrated by our ancestors.
Guy Kistka will join other children for Christmas carols (koliadky) in the likes of an ancient folk opera: one carrying a lighted six-pointed star; another dressed as a goat; while others prepared to collect gifts that people will give them.
Later today children will look for the first star in the sky, another ancient ritual, to indicate that it’s time for the Holy Supper (Svyata Vechera) of 12 lenten dishes.
