Yesterday, a mother with three sons from Kyiv visited the Starosambir Department of the Migration Service of Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions to obtain foreign passports. A simple visit turned into a special event.


Six-year-old twins Luca and Tadej, as well as their older brother Bohdan, received their documents in a very warm atmosphere, together with the Bethlehem fire of peace, which was handed over by the scouts.


This fire travels across Ukraine every year as a symbol of light, hope, and faith, especially important at this time when we so need warmth, peace, and confidence in the future.


The family moved to Lviv region due to the war, so everything is still very new for the boys - a new school, new friends, new traditions. Very soon they will have their own nativity scene in their temporary home - just as thousands of Ukrainian families do.


May the Christmas light warm every home and give a little hope to all of us!



A Ukrainian family who has gone through difficult times due to the war finds warmth and support in volunteers while obtaining foreign passports for their children, who are starting to adapt to a new life in Lviv region. The Christmas spirit and hope for a better future are felt in every fate, where the light of Christmas lights glows comfortably.
