The top of the city-wide Christmas tree in Lviv was decorated with a stylized anti-tank hedgehog. Yesterday, the tree was decorated and lit up for the first time in the evening.

We will remind you that Christmas in Lviv will be special this year. Despite the threats and wishes of the enemy, the traditional attributes of the Christmas holidays will be established in the city, but this year they will be more modest.
In particular, the city-wide Christmas tree, which is usually installed on the square in front of the Opera House, is smaller – 14 meters. Whereas in previous years its height reached 17-20 m. It was donated to the city by the “Svitanok” leather enterprise.
The amount of illumination on the Christmas tree was reduced in order to save electricity. This year’s tree lighting will consume 1 kW per hour (for comparison, an electric kettle consumes 1.7 to 2.5 kW at one time, and a washing machine consumes 1.8-2.3 kW). The Christmas tree will be lit only from 17:00 to 22:00. In the event of a power outage on Svoboda Avenue, the Christmas tree will not be lit separately.
Shopka and grandfather are also traditional elements of Christmas in Lviv. Previously, the shopka was installed on Rynok Square, but this year it will stand on Yavorskyi Square (opposite the Garrison Church). In turn, the main grandfather of the city instead of the square. Yavorskyi will be placed on the square. Museum.
There will be no Christmas fair in Lviv this year.
