Orthodox Christmas was this past weekend!
Christmas is one of the most important and joyous holidays within the traditions of the Orthodox Church. Many Orthodox churches around the world use the Julian calendar for religious holidays; according to the Julian calendar, Christmas Day falls on January 7 of the Gregorian calendar. Although there is rich diversity in celebrations and traditions, many Orthodox Christian communities honour this day with special prayers, reflections, and gift giving.
To all who celebrated, we wish you and your loved ones a peaceful and happy Christmas!
