Children have traditionally prepared and performed so-called vertep performances. Vertep is a puppet theatre and drama that performs the nativity scene as well as other mystery plays. The Christmas star, which is regarded a sign of joy, is the vertep's defining feature.

On this photo, I am holding a goat mask and a Christmas star that I handcrafted from papier-mâché and simple materials. These symbols of Ukrainian Christmas reflect the ancient traditions of caroling and generous singing (shchedruvannya). For me, they are more than just decorative items; they represent a deep connection to the culture and customs that I strive to preserve and share. #Shchedruvannya #Caroling #UkrainianChristmas #ukraine #UkrainianTraditions #UkrainianCulture #Heritage #Handmade #PapierMâché #Vertep #UkrainianCarols #ChristmasSymbols #FolkArt #UkrainianCrafts #TraditionalArt #CulturalPreservation #HolidayTraditions #diy #diychristmasdecor #artist
