Most of the customs are connected with the religious festivals or with Ukrainian dwelling. The Orthodox Ukrainian people celebrate Christmas on January, 6: the evening before Christmas is called the Holy Evening.
On the Holy Evening all the family get together to have the Christmas Supper.
According to the religious tradition, it is necessary to prepare 12 different dishes because of 12 apostles; no one at the table can eat till the first star appears in the sky.
