Georgian Capital Marks Orthodox Christmas With Charity March

Children in costumes dominated the annual Alilo parade in Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, on January 7, the day on which many Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas. The traditional procession is similar to the longstanding custom of carol singing in other countries. The modern-day Alilo march raises funds for orphanages. (RFE/RL's Georgia Service, Ilia Ratiani)
