President Yanukovych Greets Ukrainians on St. Nicholas Day

President Viktor Yanukovych greeted Ukrainians on the occasion of St. Nicholas’ Day and wished them spiritual grace, the presidential press service reported.

“Today, we address the Wonder Worker as we hope for his favor and mercy and the children look forward to fulfilling their dreams and secret desires with the help of their patron. This holiday since ancient times was filled with generosity, compassion and love for one’s neighbor. I am grateful to everyone who fully expresses these qualities, especially with respect to children deprived of parental care and children with physical disabilities. Let the good and mercy unite us now and forever for the sake of a happy future for our children and Ukraine. I cordially wish everyone good health, joy and spiritual grace,” reads the address.
