Orthodox Christians practice Christmas traditions with family

The Jereniuk family’s preparations for Sviata Vecherya began more than one month ago.
That’s the Ukrainian term for the Orthodox Christmas feast of 12 meatless dishes Paul Jereniuk and Kelsey Jereniuk will serve the more than 35 people invited to their north Edmonton home on Sunday.
It’s been more than 70 years since Paul Jereniuk’s grandparents immigrated to Canada from Ukraine via holding camps in Germany, and the family is working hard to keep traditions alive.
