Ukrainian is a country steeped deep in tradition, reflected in their Christmas celebrations. Ukrainian peasants, women and men, wear elaborate folk costumes embellished with applique, embroidery, ribbons and braiding. These colorful folk-art patterns have transitioned into the people’s modern-day life. The Ukrainian Santa wears a beautiful warm coat appliqued with hearts and stars. As he peeks into churches filled with people on Christmas Eve, he sees the Vertep, “cave” in ancient Greek, a Ukrainian nativity scene. Christmas Eve is the Sviaty Vechir - Holy Evening. Families cook and bake at least 12 different dishes for the Christmas meal, including Kutia, a favorite pastry made with cooked wheat, honey, poppy seeds, raisin and nuts. It is a time of family gathering and tradition, celebrating the peace and love of Christmas time.
