Hosted by Anna L.: Licensed Tour Guide in Russia and Israel
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.

Hi, my name is Anna. I used to be a licensed tour guide to Saint Petersburg, Russia. Due to Russian-Ukrainian war and my zero tolerance of my county’s government, I had to leave my beloved city and job. I’m currently living in Israel. There is no such thing as an ex-guide, so I’m not wasting my time and studying to become a licensed tour guide to the Holy Land. Join me in my exploration of Israel. Let’s discover this country together. History is never boring, it’s all how you talk about it. I do all kinds of virtual tours, from big touristy spots, to the nooks off the beaten path.
