Christmas Parade in Lviv

An Ukrainian solder holds a Christmas Star when awaiting for the Christmas Stars Parade that take place in Lviv on the second day of Christmas and run from Rynok Square and finishes Svobody Avenue in front of the Opera house. Making Christmas Stars is an old tradition in Ukraine. The star-holder (zvizdar) is the person who leads the vertep and proudly holds the bright handmade Christmas star on a long stake. Making the most beautiful and bright Christmas star has turned into a real competition in the Western Ukraine in recent years. Hundreds of participants from different areas and their beautiful stars can be seen in Lviv at the Christmas Stars Parade. On Monday, 8 January 2018, in Lviv, Ukraine.
