SAINT NICHOLAS DAY CELEBRATION
(Svyato Mykolaya)

The project was launched in 2019 by the IOUC "Fourth Wave" for children of the Ukrainian diaspora in Toronto and GTA.

The event aims to illuminate the revered figure of St. Nicholas, who holds a special place in the hearts of Ukrainians as a patron, miracle worker, and benevolent guide. It serves as a platform to inspire and nurture a commitment to virtuous actions, as St. Nicholas stands as a symbol of the enduring belief in the potency of benevolence. Through this event, we seek to instill in children the values of tolerance, sincerity, mutual support, and generosity.

Annually, this celebration is orchestrated with various festivities, games, presents, and an enchanting theatrical rendition of the St. Nicholas tale, featuring the participation of children's theatre groups and studios.

In addition to the performance, the event raises funds to support orphans and children with special educational needs in Ukraine. This approach allows us to not only uphold and carry forward our traditions but also impart the value of generosity to future generations.
