Christmas Eve, Known as Svyat Vechir, is the end of the pre-Christmas Lenten period. During this period, no animal products can be consumed (including meat, diary and eggs). The Svyat Vechir meal must include 12 dishes, all Lenten. Meat and animal product are once again allowed on Christmas Day.
Probably nothing, as a vast majority of Ukrainians are Eastern Orthodox, and celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January, rather than the 25th of December.
In the pre-Vatican II tradition, Christmas Eve was a fast day up until First Vespers of Christmas in the evening, unless it fell on a Sunday. In the current tradition, meat is permissible on Christmas Eve; but if it falls on a Friday, abstinence from meat is required until First Vespers of Christmas in the evening (unless dispensed of by the Bishops of your country, as is the case in Australia, the United States and a number of others).
I believe so, unless it is in a persons religion to not do so.
Lithuanians are mostly Catholic/Christian so we believe in not eating meat on Christmas Eve. So we eat 12 meals, & most of them are made with fish.
