We know they celebrate Christmas on January 7th - all the Russian apartments did

In Barcelona the use to have a party on the December 24/25 "for us"

Which is funny since on this day most of us are celebrating with our families and by the way are far away from the PC.

'The Orthodox Churches of Jerusalem, Russia, Serbia, Montenegro, Poland (from 15 June 2014), North Macedonia, Georgia, Ukraine, and the Greek Old Calendarists and other groups continue to use the Julian calendar, thus they celebrate the Nativity on 25 December Julian (which is 7 January Gregorian until 2100.'

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 ?

While we wait for the phone numbers, which calendar most of the world uses now ? Gregorian ?

Just to confuse you a little more, we celebrate Christmas on December 24th and not the 25th. πŸ™‚

The Russian Orthodox Church ( I think the Serbian also ) is considered β€œ old calendars β€œ , that’s why they celebrate with 13 days difference … The current calendar that we use is called β€œ Gregorian calendar β€œ and the β€œ old calendar β€œ is the Julian Calendar .

 

For Greece , the division between Gregorian Calendar  and Julian Calendar started in 1924 , then the β€œ Original Orthodox β€œ 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  .

This is the Catholic Church that they celebrate the Christmas Eve as Christmas πŸ˜†πŸ˜› We celebrate nothing on the 24th and all major celebrations happen exactly on the 25th 😏

 Some places changes by family traditions. In my family we start the celebrations on 24th but the dinner is served almost mid night and the gift exchanges on 25th
