The country will now mark the holy day on Dec. 25, dropping the Russian Orthodox Church’s tradition of celebrating the holiday on Jan. 7.

That'll learn 'em.

They need to make February 14, the Ukranian Valentines Day. “Dr. Jill” likes to do Valentines. Especially to foreign nationals.

Well, the rest of Christendom celebrates it on the 25th, so he’s recognizing that fact as an emphasis to show Russia is an outlier when it comes to principal tenets of Christianity.

The Russian Orthodox Church uses the abandoned Julian calendar. January 7th on the Julian calendar corresponds to December 25th on the Gregorian calendar which we all use.

Ukraine is so eager to spite Russia, it passed a law changing when it celebrates Christmas.

How childish. 🙄
