Christmas has come to Yuzhny!!!
We have satrted the preparation for our big Christmas Festival long time ago.... There were about 82 people taking a great part in all preparations: drawing the inside and outside decorations that made the real Biblical atmosphere; producers, that had to write three diferent Christmas plays; actors, playing three times each day; volunteers, that helped to make 1 400 sweet Christmas presents; cooks, that would make lunch for us that we needed so much.
Christmas Festival took three full days on January 8, 9 and 10 at the territory of Yuzhny church "God's house". There were three plays according to the children's age group every day during the Christmas Festival. All the actors and volunteers wearing the clothes of Biblical characters were welcoming the coming children and their parents.
