On January 25, 2026, the Christmas carol festival "Christmas Stories" in Vinnytsia brought together church choirs and creative groups from the Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Boryspil, Lviv and other eparchies of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This was reported by the press service of the Vinnytsia Eparchy.

Participants performed carols and Christmas songs, glorifying the Nativity of Christ. The festival also featured Archpriest Oleksandr Klymenko, a winner of the musical project "Voice of the Country."

Before the concert began, there was a Christmas fair and a youth forum with a round table on the topic: "The place of Orthodox youth in the modern life of the Church." Forum participants communicated with priests from different eparchies and also took part in a charitable action — weaving camouflage nets for the needs of military personnel.

At the conclusion of the event, Metropolitan Varsonofiy (Stoliar) thanked all the groups and emphasized the importance of preserving spiritual traditions.

As the UOJ reported, Christmas caroling and festive concerts were held in UOC eparchies.
