Christmas Traditions in Ukraine.
Narrated by Oleg Baranovsky. 
Christmas in Ukraine is celebrated January 7 according to the Gregorian calendar as in most of other Orthodox Christian countries. 
During the Soviet time, it was not officially celebrated in Ukraine. Instead the communist government tried to substitute Christmas with the holiday of New Year. But the people did not forget their traditions. After gaining it’s independence in 1991, Ukraine started to  officially celebrate Christmas.

There are many choices but you will know the agency that is best for your family when it stands out among the rest.

1. Communication should be frequent with realistic timelines and expectations. 
2. Be confident with the agencies experience and staff in country. 
3. Trust your agency has knowledge and real life examples of what to do when a crisis may arise. Understand all scenarios before you travel.
