Description
As artillery booms outside and fighter jets flew overhead, Orthodox Christians in a battered eastern Ukrainian town hold a Christmas service in a basement shelter, vowing not to let war ruin the holiday and the celebration. "Christ was born in a cave, we are also in some kind of cave here, this probably has a special meaning: Do not lose heart, do not give up, and move on" declares priest Oleg Kruchinin at the ceremony.
