“On the First Day of Russian Christmas, my true love gave to me...Vodka!”
Guess there's no black market for banned alcohol in Ukraine, right? I wonder what they're spending all those U.S. dollars on then. We'll never know, because nobody wants us to know. Shhh! It's a big secret.
Imagine if a Christian shut down synagogues and moved Yom Kippur to June.
“”””The UOC indicates it will still celebrate Christmas on 7 January along with many millions of other orthodox churches throughout the world””””
Before the war, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was 4% of Ukrainians, which is probably a whole lot less today, at the same time 52% of Ukrainians were Orthodox Church of Ukraine and that is probably a whole lot more today.
Fifty-nine percent of Ukrainians approve of the switch to the Western Christmas.
“78% of Ukraine is Orthodox.”
And now they’ll be following the Gregorian calendar, too.
” It’s not so much a Russian thing as an Orthodox thing.”
Yes, that is correct. Which is why I said Russia is AN outlier, not THE outlier.
Christmas was and remains on December 25; but for Old Calendar Orthodox (Russian, Serbian, and other Russo-derivatives) the liturgical calendar is 13 days behind the secular calendar.
The secularist prosodomite Zelensky is forcing all Christians to follow the secular/Gregorian calendar for all things.
The only thing I have for Zelensky is flushed from my toilet bowl.
Simple. Ukraine can adopt the Gregorian calendar in everything.
Filush Zelenskyy down the toilet instead!!!!
Good News!
May Ukraine become totally russia free!
I’m sure russian tastes, smells etc will be going trough hell the next few years
russian smells will remind them of the war
Ukraine is so eager to spite Russia, it passed a law changing when it celebrates Christmas.
How childish. 🙄
No Ukraine is not childish russia is evil
A vodka in a pear tree!
It is not Russian but Orthodox tradition.
Such flawless logic. 🙄
read it as slowly as you need to:
No Ukraine is not childish. russia is evil
That’s why russia/putin is wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity
Ukraine is NOT wanted for Crimes Aagainst Humanity, russia is,
Are you honestly that out of touch with reality?
You’re emotional and not logical. That is why I don’t even try to have rational discussions with liberals. I learned long ago that it’s an exercise in futility and a waste of time.
I’m not going to get caught up in one of those mindless Ukie-loops. I will permit you to have the last word so that this “discussion” can mercifully come to its conclusion.
