Presented by John Righetti

Monday, December 12 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Eastern Time

Presented via Zoom (see below for link information)

How did Rusyns celebrate Christmas in the old country and how did they bring their customs forward to today in the United States? Our own John Righetti will share his experiences with Rusyn Christmas in the past and today.

Before participating in the program we ask you to view John’s presentation: Christmas Traditions of Carpatho-Rusyns https://youtu.be/TDpEJ8QTUT4. Then join us while John shares his own Rusyn traditions and discusses how you might be able to add some of these customs to your current Christmas celebration if they aren’t practiced already. We will then take some time to talk about how you and your family have brought the traditions of your Rusyn ancestors to life.
