MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR MY DEAR COLLEAGUES! I wish all the best to you and all your family - good health first of all - and moments filled only with joy and happiness!!!
In Macedonia we are Orthodox - so we will have to wait 2 more weeks til Christmas. Orthodox Christmas is on 7th January, but why not celebrate both, right?
Dear Koenigen der Nacht, there is Eastern & Western Orthodox (which are the 2 terms I�ve heard from Orthodox church members I knew in Australia)! Western Orthodox = 25 December, Eastern Orthodox = 7th January
Koenigin der Nacht ....you are right � many Orthodox Churches use the
New, Gregorian Calendar with the exception of Jerusalem, Russia, Serbia, Macedonia,
Montenegro, Mount Athos (and maybe some other counties �. I am not sure) which
use the Julian calendar
Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.
Merry Christmas to everyone on this wonderful site.
Interesting! I didn�t know these details! Personally, I�m a Greek Orthodox and we celebrate Christmas on the 25th December. I was under the impression that we used to consider heretics the Greek Orthodox who remained with the Old calendar and didn�t change to the new one. I didn�t know that there were differences with the other Orthodox churches. I�ll have to look it up! Thank you jecika and alien boy for pointing this out and Merry Christmas to everyone, no matter when one celebrates it!
