(20 Dec 2016) HUNDREDS GATHER TO WATCH CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHT UP IN KIEV SQUARE
Christmas festivities got underway in the Ukrainian capital Kiev on Monday night (19 Dec. 2016), as hundreds gathered to watch the lights of the city's main Christmas tree being switched on in Saint Sophia square.
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko led the countdown to the lighting up ceremony, and was joined by a group of children to watch the 26-meter high (85 feet) tree and surrounding decorations illuminate the square.
Around a thousand wooden decorations and three kilometres (1.8 miles) of garlands were especially made by craftsmen from Lviv to decorate the Kiev Christmas tree this year.
