HUTSUL CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA
On the year's most mysterious night, the Holy Evening, our mountains come alive with a very special atmosphere. Dormant forests stand still, while the locals enjoy their festive meal in quiet and peace. But when the silence fades out, a joyful moment arrives: Carol begins!
Cheerful, carefree, heartfelt: Hutsul Koliada (Hutsul carol) is an astounding display of joy. The highlanders firmly believe: sadness is a remnant of old times, and true faith is the joy that brings people together.
By visiting 3 different locations, embark on a journey into the world of authentic Christmas. You will be able to see Hutsuls caroling near an ancient church: a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors and sonorous voices. During a theatrical Christmas procession (Vertep), the history of Hutsuls will literally come to life: a magnificent sight to behold, with traditional garments and carols that are passed down from generation to generation. Last, not least, you will be able to taste a traditional winter holiday treat, the kutia, prepared according to an ancient recipe.
Feel the spirit of Carpathian Christmas! Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of folklore, traditions and local cuisine, experience sincere joy and feel the power of the mountains.
