"Ukrainian Christmas Eve" compares the Christmas Eve customs and rituals celebrated in Ukraine and in Canada.
Bosak, NatalieThis series consists of materials related to the album "Ukrainian Churches of Canada: Oil Paintings and Commentary by the Author" by Parasia Iwanec, published in Preshow in 1991. The series contains two sets of photographs of Iwanec's oil paintings - with and without historical accounts about the churches. There are also drafts of the following papers: "Ukrainian Churches of Alberta in the Paintings of Parasia Iwanec" by Olha Kolankivska, "Ukrainian Churches of Alberta in the Oil Paintings of Parasia Iwanec" by Ivan Keywan, and several writings by Parasia Iwanec, such as "Brief History of Ukrainian Churches of Alberta," "Ukrainian Churches in Alberta," and an introductory chapter "God, Church, and the Ukrainian nation." There are also six maps and drafts of indexes in the series. Some of the maps Parasia Iwanec and her husband used when they travelled around Alberta looking for churches. These maps contain the creator's marks and signs. Others are contour maps where Parasia Iwanec mapped Ukrainian churches of the region. Some series' materials were intended as integral parts of the album but were not included into the published volume.
