By Lord Tennyson
Ring out wild bells,

to the wild sky
The flying cloud, the frost light
The year is dying in the night
Ring out wild bells, across the snow,
Ring out the old ring in the new
Ring happy bells across the snow
The year is going, let him go.
Ring out the false, ring the true
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor
Ring is redress to all mankind.

bright,
Round your virgin, mother and child,
Holy infant, so tender

and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glory streams from heaven afar.
Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah,
Christ the Saviour is born.
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from thy holy face.
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

the most important family holiday. It is celebrated according

to ancient customs that have come down through the ages and are still observed today.
Christianity was introduced in 988 A.D. This day was a festival long before Christianity, because ancient people believed that this was the time when the Sun god started his journey back to Earth. The church accepted many ancient customs as part of the Christian holidays (Feasts of Winter Solstice). This is why Ukrainian customs are quite unique and deeply symbolic.

stalks of grain symbolize all the ancestors of the family.
Kutia (boiled wheat mixed with poppy seeds and honey) is the most important food of the Christmas Eve Supper and is also called God`s Food.
There are twelve courses in the supper in honor of twelve Christ`s Apostles. Meat and dairy products are not permitted.
Colach(Christmas bread) is placed in the centre. This bread is braided into a ring and three such rings are placed one on top of the other, with a candle in the centre. The three rings symbolize the Trinity.

from ancient times. Our ancestors sang ritual Koliadky in

honor of the Sun returning to summer in the feast which was called Kolo or Koliada.
There are two main groups of Christmas songs in Ukraine: Koliadky which are sung on the Christmas Eve and schedrivky (from the word meaning generous) which are sung during the feast of Epiphany.
The group of carolers is usually picturesque: one member is dressed as a goat, another carries a six-pointed star attached to a long stick, which symbolized the star of Bethlehem. They go from door to door singing carols for each member of the family. The hosts present carolers with apples, nuts, sweets and money.

the 17-th century. The theatre was probably founded by

students of the Kyivan Academy.
Puppets were made of wood. The play which was staged
had two separate acts. The first had a religious theme
and told about the birth of Christ. The second act of the
play consisted of short, humorous scenes. There was
traditionally one personage there, who was just called
“Kozak Zaporozhets”. Probably the role of Kozak was
based on Kozak Mamai, the semi-legendary folk hero. In the puppet theatre the Kozak doll was always made
larger than the others. He wore the traditional dress of the Kozaky, had a bandura (Ukrainian folk string
instrument) and smoked a pipe. The Kozak puppet
spoke of the glorious historical past of Ukraine, he was
the eternal defender of Ukraine`s freedom.

to feel harmony in his her soul. Christmas is

a great chance to forget wars, terrorism and other cruel things that spoil our life. It’s a chance to become better, to believe in miracles. It’s a chance to look into the eyes of people who are near you and say, “I love you with all my heart! I wish your dreams to come true! Be happy!” If all people did it, we think, our life would be better. Merry Christmas!
