In Lviv, at the Mariupol District IDP Support Center "Heart of the East" for children from the Sartana, Mangush, Kalchitsa, and Mykolaiv communities of the Mariupol district, a real Christmas fairy tale took place called "Evenings at the Farmstead 'Heart of the East': Dykanka of Unbreakable Hearts."
The head of the Sartana District Administration, Oleksandr Kurkchi, and the head of the Mangush District Administration, Nataliia Vorobiova, congratulated the children on the winter holidays, wishing them good health, the fulfillment of their most cherished dreams, and true New Year's happiness under the peaceful sky of Ukraine.
The event began with a solemn performance of the national anthem and a moment of silence for those who gave their lives for our freedom.
The center was filled with cheerful children's laughter and the true magic of Christmas. Guests were transported into the atmosphere of Ukrainian traditions.
A real festive battle began. Those present solved riddles. They drew "Wings of Victory" with wishes for our soldiers, which became a symbol of faith that good will surely overcome evil. They put together a puzzle of a united and indivisible Ukraine. Piece by piece, the children assembled a map of their native land, demonstrating that we are one whole from east to west.
The most touching moment was the "Ribbon of Unity." Each tied ribbon became a symbol of an unbreakable connection with home and a sincere hope for a return to one's native land.
The highlight of the evening was a visit from Saint Nicholas. Amidst sincere applause and joyful shouts, he greeted everyone present. Together with the guests, Saint Nicholas performed the main miracle of the evening — he lit the Star of Victory, whose light now warms the hearts of everyone who believes in a bright future for our country.
