The Ukrainians, like any other people, have their own customs and traditions: many of these are very old, some appear nowadays.
Most of the customs are connected with the religious festivals or with Ukrainian dwelling.

The most popular of the holidays is the New Year Day; it is celebrated on the 1st of January.
But the Orthodox Church in Ukraine celebrates New Year on the 14th of January to the old-style Calendar.

The Orthodox Ukrainian people celebrate Christmas on January, 6: the evening before Christmas is called the Holy Evening.
On the Holy Evening all the family get together to have the Christmas Supper.

Easter is another great religious festival: usually it is celebrated on one of Sundays in spring.
On that day the religious people go to church and listen to the service.

There are many other interesting customs and traditions in Ukraine, too.
