Carols for Christmas. Top traditional songs in classical and modern performances.

Caroling is one of the ancient traditions of Ukrainian Christmas. On the morning of December 25, people visit relatives, neighbors, and friends and sing carols - greeting the birth of Jesus Christ with Christmas songs and poems. The hosts of the house then treat the carolers to sweets, pastries, and give money if they liked the carols. Researchers believe that the tradition of caroling came from pagan times and gradually merged with the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Ukrainians actively study their traditions and revive those that were forgotten or forbidden during the Soviet era.
