Description

Join Anna on a talk of the Christmas and New Year traditions of the Romanovs. This tour will provide an informative look into the festive customs of Russia’s imperial family, showcasing their celebrations across various palaces. At Winter Palace, the Romanovs would gather in Catherine’s Palace, where they celebrated with beautifully decorated Christmas trees adorned with candles and elaborate ornaments. Visitors can view old photographs and illustrations that capture these festive moments, offering visual insight into the family’s traditions. Memoirs from court members describe the elaborate feasts that included traditional Russian dishes and seasonal sweets, served in grand dining rooms. At Peterhof, winter activities such as ice skating and sleigh rides were common, and the palace’s interiors were decorated for the season. Religious customs, including attending midnight mass, played a significant role in their celebrations, reflecting the family’s connection to the Orthodox faith. Through a combination of visual materials and personal accounts, this tour highlights the Christmas and New Year traditions of the Romanovs, providing a nuanced understanding of their cultural practices during this time of year.
