Dear agrarians, families of farmers, people of the land and a big heart!
On this holy Christmas Eve, when silence is filled with light and darkness recedes before faith, I want to address you with deep gratitude and hope.
Christmas is about the birth of new life. For the agricultural sector of Ukraine, it sounds particularly meaningful. You are the ones who know how spring comes after winter, how a sprout grows out of the dark earth, how a harvest reappears after losses. You believe not in spite of trials, but because of them. You sow even when it is difficult. You work when you are scared. You love the land - and it responds to you with strength.
Today, agrarians are not just about bread. You are about courage. About hope. About those who hold the food front, support communities, help soldiers and prevent Ukraine from falling to its knees. You hold the revival in your hands. Faith is in your hearts. The future of our children is in your actions.
May the Christmas star light up every home with warmth, peace and confidence. May the Lord protect your families, fields and farms. May the new year bring peace, strength and abundant fruit - on earth and in life.
With faith.
With respect to the people of the earth.
With love to everyone who is not broken.
Merry Christmas!
Alla Stoyanova 🌾✨
