The Bethlehem flame of peace will travel through Ukraine: how and where will it be delivered

On December 15, at the Central Railway Station in Kyiv, a ceremonial handover of the Flame of Bethlehem Peace will take place from platoons to representatives of Ukrzaliznytsia. Thanks to the railway workers, the shrine will go on a journey through Ukraine to reach every corner of the country.

"The Bethlehem flame of peace will travel through Ukraine again! On December 15, at the Central Railway Station of Kyiv, platoons will hand over the Bethlehem Flame of Peace to representatives of the railway," the message reads.

As indicated, the fire will be delivered to 22 railway stations of Ukraine with the help of 12 night trains on December 15-16. Train #81 Kyiv – Uzhgorod will be the first to leave, departing at 6:30 p.m.

Ukrzaliznytsia together with the platoons have been spreading the Flame of Bethlehem across Ukraine for the fourth year in a row, and for the third year - in conditions of full-scale war.

This winter, the Bethlehem fire will become a symbol of resistance and victory over evil. Everyone is invited to join this tradition, take a piece of fire to their homes and share its warmth with loved ones.

Every year on Christmas Eve, the Scouts pass the Bethlehem Flame of Peace to Christendom. The tradition started in 1986 in the Austrian city of Linz, when the local television and radio company decided to deliver the fire from Bethlehem to hospitals and orphanages to support those who celebrate Christmas away from home. The fire is brought by plane from Bethlehem, and later this idea was picked up by the scouts, making it international.

In Ukraine, the Bethlehem flame of peace has been spread by plastuns since 1988.

Last year, the Bethlehem flame of peace was delivered to the government.
