I want to introduce you to the tradition of Christmas in Ukraine
Every year, Christian families are waiting for Christmas on January 7 at their homes for the arrival of a den. This is a traveling theater, which celebrates the newborn Jesus Christ in Bethlehem from home to house. The vertep is a prayerful glorification of God through a theatrical act and comic display of everyday life, which has been followed for several centuries in succession.
Ersha's written mention of the vertep is dated back in 1666 and it is contained in the materials of the Lviv stauropigial fraternity.
Then the deck consisted of a two- or three-story wooden box, where on the third or second floor showed the Christmas drama, and on the second and first or only the first one - a mechanically tied satirical-household interlude. These floors were interpreted as "underground", "heaven" and "earth" according to the Christian tradition.
Participants in the crochet prepare a pre-religious show, distribute roles, teach verse texts, sew and tailor costumes. The actors are usually Angel, Shepherds, Three Kings, the Jew and his wife Sura, Devil, Death, Herod King and his warriors, Kozak and others
That's how we celebrate Christmas in Ukraine.

Inspired by @future24... I'm going to do this challenge!
Rules of the Steemit Monthly Author Challenge:
Post 1 article with a photo of your life every day for one month and use the tag #monthlyauthorchallenge for these posts.
You don't have to add a detailed describtion to your photo article and it can be a quick photo post with Steepshot for example too. (But don´t forget the #monthlyauthorchallenge tag!)
The photo of your life doesn't have to be up-to-date, but not older than 1 year.
To make it more comfortable for everyone, you don't have to nominate someone for the challenge every day in your daily post. Nominating is voluntary, but to share this fun, I would suggest to nominate some other Steemians from time to time, so that you can do this funny challenge together.
Your challenge ends when you reach the Monthy Author badget on steemitboard.com and then just make a final post that you finished the challenge. 👌
Beautiful tradition! :)
Love learning about other countries' cultures.
