Dear Friends,
This is a Christmas update from CSUF and Dorosh Heritage Tours in Ukraine.
This year, the Christmas season in Ukraine is different for many reasons and we do not mean war only. Most of us celebrated Christmas on Jan 6/7th. However, this year, many people have decided to do it on Dec 25, according to the Gregorian calendar. It’s a symbolic way to express the alienation from Russia and be part of the European society. The special church services will be taking place on both dates, for those who stick with Jan 6 and those who decide to celebrate on Dec 25.
It is a time of wonders, good deeds, and presents. We thank you for helping us to make this time special for many people who are in need. We are working on it and we still have time till Jan 6.
As I may have said before, this war has affected the poorest the most. The elderly people are among them. To explain, I will tell you about Luba who you can see in the photos below. This is the entrance to her household.
