Christmas Box: Festive Tales by Russian Classics

Christmas literature in Russia combines traditional Christianity and folk folklore.

The presented collection of festive tales by Russian writers: Alexei Kuprin, Ivan Bunin, Arkady Averchenko, Alexei Tolstoy, and others, which have been read by many generations, will create an atmosphere of homey coziness, warmth of human relationships, and Christmas miracles.

By celebrating the Nativity of Christ, we honor the Incarnation of God and faith in salvation. Our culture is rooted in traditions associated with Christmas days: the Christmas tree — a symbol of eternal life that Christ granted us, a special feast after a long fast, visiting loved ones, giving gifts (in memory of the gifts brought by the Magi to the infant Christ), showing mercy and helping those in need.

Festive stories call us to love and mercy, to the idea that if everyone shares a piece of their warmth with others, then a Christmas Miracle can happen.
