Ukrainian scouts hand Peace Light of Bethlehem to Ukrainian president
Ukrainian scouts visited the Presidential Administration of Ukraine to hand the Peace Light of Bethlehem to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. The Peace Light of Bethlehem will be lit at the birthplace of Jesus Christ on the eve of Christmas.
"This scout tradition has existed for many years already, but it is the first time when the Peace Light of Bethlehem was handed to the Presidential Administration of Ukraine," the press service of the president reported on Saturday.
"We urgently need peace and that is why we brought this symbol of peace to you, Mr. President," the press service said, citing a member of the National Supervisory Board of Scouts Andriy Luzan.
The head of state wished this light to add up faith in the better future for everyone.
"Let this light be lit in the houses of Chernihiv and Crimea, Zakarpattia and Luhansk. Let it demonstrate unity of Ukraine and bring peace to all these houses," he said.
