Saint Nicholas in Sumi :-)

This video features Father Mykola Karpenko in Sumi Ukraine on December 6th celebrating as Saint Nikolas which is intended to be more religious than Santa Claus. They are singing a patriotic Ukrainian song and “blessing” the soldiers fighting in the war.

The photo shows the contents of packages handed out to the war victims and local residents in need on the religious holiday of Saint Nicholas. These were purchased with funding provided by CONU. During the holiday mass, Archbishop Mefodi publicly thanked CONU and American friends for the donation and support.
