Ukrainian Christmas Reception
Supported by Ukraine International Airlines
Tuesday 17 January 2012
London, UK
Reception: 18:00 – 21:00
Speeches: 19:00
Christmas celebrations in Ukraine last from 6 January, when families have traditional Christmas Eve supper, to 19 January, the day of Vodohrestya (baptism by water) epitomising the tradition of christening in waters of river Jordan. The UBCC would once again like to give its members an opportunity to celebrate Christmas one more time before the festive season is over.
The Ukrainian Christmas Reception will take place at the Bridewell Hall, St Bride Foundation, Bride Lane, Fleet Street, London EC4Y 8EQ (nearest Tube station – St Pauls). In the programme:
- festive greetings from the Embassy of Ukraine, All Party Ukraine Parliamentary Group, the UBCC Board of Directors and the sponsors of the evening
- special address from the Ukraine Charity
- traditional Ukrainian Christmas cuisine
- live performance of Ukrainian Christmas carols
- Christmas raffle for the Ukraine Charity, with the top prize being two business class flight tickets London - Kyiv donated by Ukraine International Airlines
Admission is by invitation only.
