According to YAGODA singersShe has the sweetest childhood memories associated with the winter holidays.
- I remember how before the Holy Supper my grandmother and I baked bread, and she taught me various carols, recited ancient prayers. Then I wished that this night before Christmas would never end, I still keep this warm memory as something special. I usually celebrate the New Year with friends, we don’t have any special traditions, except for the fact that I prepare a pencil. - the singer told FACTS. - But Christmas is a family holiday. Every year I celebrate it with my family. It all starts with the Holy Supper, traditionally 12 courses. My favorites are lean borscht with mushroom ears and red beans from my grandmother. Mom traditionally puts garlic on every corner of the table so that everyone is healthy all year round. We sing various carols and make dumplings. And we sit down at the table with the first star. And on Christmas the whole family gathers, caroling, talking a lot.
This year, the singer adds, she plans to celebrate Christmas on December 25, although it has always been celebrated on January 7.
“Now more than ever, I want to move away from everything that the “Russian world” has planted on us for so long. The magic of Christmas is special. Every year we let a little light, comfort, goodness into our hearts. I wish every Ukrainian to leave this atmosphere in their hearts throughout the year. For in dark times bright people are clearly visible. I wish us a speedy victory and a peaceful sky. Let love, faith and hope come to every Ukrainian home. And let everything be renewed in the New Year!
Earlier said that Ukraine could soon switch to a new calendar of holidays. And there is a possibility that next year all Orthodox churches will celebrate Christmas on December 25, and St. Nicholas will come to the children on December 6, and not on the 19th.
