In his latest weekly address, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church said that Ukrainians are celebrating the Christmas season, “although the circumstances in which they celebrate it are becoming increasingly dire.”
Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk added, “By celebrating Christmas, Ukraine finds the Savior, who was born among us today, incarnated; who became a Ukrainian soldier defending the homeland; a refugee who left his home; a volunteer helping all those in need; a rescuer extinguishing fires; and a medic who saves human lives.”
