We arrived in Canada in 1957, and lived in a small Ukrainian community in Montréal; excepted for the farms, this was still pretty much the way Ukrainian Christmas was celebrated, especially the home-made costumes of the Vertep koliadnyky, well into the late 1970s.
The first settlers of 1890 was very difficult and harsh strange country and strange language but they managed and 120 years later 1.2 million Canadian Ukrainians are now flourishing good film .
My parents never followed any Ukrainian traditions (besides having perogies, holopchi and pyryshky!) and I never did either. Now I wish I did with my kids!
Honestly, it's never too late to start with something small. My family doesn't do most of these, but we've always had that spoonful of kutia (without throwing) and at least listened to Boh Predvichny. We have our traditional meal at my parents' house on Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day has the Canadian meal wherever we are (example: my brother goes to his in-laws).
January 1942. Over in Ukraine they would be in the first winter of the German occupation. That marriage aged girl is probably around my late baba's age in this.
Nope, nowadays in Ukraine the tradition is flourishing and people still sing these Christmas carols and organize Vertep folk drama th-cam.com/video/UHjCAdIjIL4/w-d-xo.html
Супер! Нехай Бог береже всіх українців у всьому світі і тих хто їм допомагає!
В якійсь мірі щасливі люди, яких в далекій чужині минули страхіття другої світової

Молодці що вберегли свою ідентичність і коріння .
Дуже зворушливий фільм - чудово, що ці святкові миті збереглись на плівці!
So beautiful to see these old customs in color!

How beautiful it is to bring the past to life, eh... The beauty of film!
These are the luckiest Ukrainians ever
It was a hard life. My grandmother pregnant for 20 years, tended a farm by herself while my grandfather drank and beat the kids. Not lucky at all.
It's your own life experience
Really?😸💛💙
hello from ukraine, the most interesting thing is that these traditions are even no more popular in the motherland
Really?

ти брехуне - баламутиш Канадійців що в Україні традиції не популярні?
Not true, they are

Слава Україні!
Перенесли з собою Україну...
Ah yes. I too remember when Grandma hid her nuts in our bushes
