Cost: $15
Join us for an online lecture that takes a closer look at the meaning of Christmas in Ukraine! We will explore beautiful artworks and folk traditions that make this holiday special. You’ll learn about unique pieces of art that show the spirit of Christmas and celebrate Ukrainian culture.
We will also discuss a critical time in history when Christmas was banned by Soviet authorities and replaced with New Year’s Eve celebrations. This pivotal moment in history influenced not only religious practices but also cultural expressions, leading to a complex relationship between tradition and totalitarian state-imposed changes.
All funds go to Dobro New England to support humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Whether you’re interested in art, history, or cultural traditions, this lecture will provide new insights into Ukraine today. We look forward to seeing you there!
