Your point is? I guess we will need to send text messages to all B1, B2, B4 & B5 girls to know when they will celebrate their Christmas this year ? Any one knows their cell phone numbers ?

Your point is? The Russian Orthodox Church ( I think the Serbian also ) is considered “ old calendars “ , that’s why they celebrate with 13 days difference … The current calendar that we use is called “ Gregorian calendar “ and the “ old calendar “ is the Julian Calendar . For Greece , the division between Gregorian Calendar and Julian Calendar started in 1924 , then the “ Original Orthodox “ didn’t accept the change because they considered that the Greek Orthodox Church was submitting to the Pope and the Catholic Church and they are currently a really small minority in Greece . I don’t know the reasons why Russian Orthodox Church has kept the Julian calendar and that’s why they celebrate on the 7th January instead of the 25th December .

In my family we start the celebrations on 24th but the dinner is served almost mid night and the gift exchanges on 25th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
