Ukrainians carol at Rockefeller Center's landmark Christmas tree

NEW YORK - For only the second consecutive year, Rockefeller Center's landmark Christmas tree was left lit through Christmas according to the Julian (old-style) calendar. And, to celebrate the occasion, Ukrainians gathered on January 7 at Rockefeller Center for an evening of impromptu caroling by candlelight. Their singing of Ukrainian Christmas carols drew the attention of passers-by and once again underlined the strong presence of the Ukrainian community in New York City.
