Thank you brother in Christ. Today, however, was the "other" Orthodox Christmas (according to the Old-Calendar) for some 85% or more Orthodox in the world. Our Feast of the Epiphany will be in two weeks, done the same way, of course. But, your gesture of good will is much appreciated, regardless of the Calendar of course. :-)

Didn't the East once celebrate the birth of Christ on Epiphany?

Yep. I was just citing the article. I should have added what you did. In fact, at Mass today our Priest spoke about just that and noted he had been speaking with an Orthodox Priest in Pittsburgh yeaterday and they chatted about Christmas etc.

I think that maybe I'll haul the Bride over to Tarpon Springs next year and witness the festivities. One can't get enough of these public professions of Faith.

Maybe one of these days, our Catholic Diocese will wake-up and get a clue...
