CAROL
SINGING
Carol singing is an important tradition both in the UK and Ukraine. While here in the UK people begin singing carols in the lead-up to Christmas, Ukrainians start to sing carols at the Christmas Eve table and then continue with carols for the next two weeks after Christmas. On Christmas Eve and the days after, groups of young carol singers traditionally go from house to house, singing a carol or performing the nativity (vertep) dressed in bright national costumes, carrying a star and passing on good wishes for the year ahead.
It is believed, the more carolers come to the home, the more fortune and wealth will be brought to the family during the following year.
We invite you to open your doors and hearts to a unique experience this holiday season. Our talented carol singers are ready to spread joy, warmth, and the spirit of cultural exchange with their melodious voices.
Join us for an unforgettable cultural experience and make this holiday season truly special.
Our carol singers don't just sing songs; they bring stories and traditions from Ukraine. It's a delightful way to share cultures, strengthen bonds, and create lasting memories.
To arrange a visit of our carol singers, choose a date that works for you and let us know about it by filling in the form. We'll do our best to accommodate your schedule and get in touch with you asap.
Let's celebrate the holidays in a way that transcends borders and languages!
