Did you know that the melody of the world-famous Christmas song “Carol of the Bells” was written by a Ukrainian composer? Mykola Leontovych created the Christmas carol “Shchedryk” based on the pre-Christian song. It was first performed in Kyiv in 1916.

    I guess most people have at least watched either Home Alone or Harry Potter 3, both featuring the song and leading to a “Oh my gosh that song!”-moment once heard.
