Russian Christmas Tree at Glendale Library |
 On
Saturday morning, November 22, 2003, the
Russian
Childrens' Center and
GCC Russian Club
decorated one of 12 Christmas trees supplied by the Glendale Main
Library, at Brown
Ave and 59th Ave (south of Peoria Ave). Eash tree is traditional
for a country.
The kids handmade many of the decorations from colored paper, as their mothers did in Russia. Pieces of candy are hung as ornaments. On Christmas Day -- January 7 in Russia -- kids can eat the candy, which is a traditional reminder that we are fed by the tree which gives life -- the "tree of life".
