On Jan. 6, hundreds of believers visited Volodymyrsky Cathedral for the service on the eve of Orthodox Christmas. Almost all of them were wearing masks and tried to practice social distancing. Despite the rain, on the next day, dozens visited the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine to watch several Carolers collectives wearing festive costumes sing Christmas songs celebrating Orthodox Christmas.
