Celebration of St. Nicholas Day - for Ukrainian children

St. Nicholas Day is one of the most beloved holidays for kids and adults. Ukrainians believe that St. Nicholas is the patron saint of ordinary people. He always helps those who need it, which is why he is also called a "quick listener." St. Nicholas is considered the patron saint of children - on the eve of the holiday, children write letters to St. Nicholas with their wishes and receive gifts.

According to this tradition, the Women Fund “Sukhumi” organized a celebration for Ukrainian children at Kutaisi Akaki Tsereteli State University. The concert choir of the 2nd music school named after Zakaria Paliashvili performed Ukrainian songs, the anthem of Ukraine and Georgia.

One of the "good magicians" was Mikola Vasilchuk, director of a Georgian-Ukrainian company, who prepared sweet gifts for the children.

The event was attended by the Mayor of Kutaisi - Ioseb Khakhaleishvili, Parliament member - Zaza Lominadze and the Chairman of the City Council - Irakli Shengelia, who made welcoming speeches.

- We will return to Ukraine, and for us and our children it will be one of the most interesting and memorable days spent in Kutaisi, - Ukrainian mothers noted.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
