Slaaviq

Russian Orthodox Christmas is some what different from the original Christmas that some parts of the world celebrate. As For Russian Orthodox Christmas, it is celebrated in rural villages and small parts in the cities or towns. This so called holiday is celebrated every year starting from January 7 to January 9. What's so contrast about this christmas is there is no mystical person dressed in red, giving out free presents to nice little kids. But it involves people going in peoples homes, singing, and before leaving to the next house, having a feast. This is done until after they dropped by all the homes that are picked or have volunteered. ev3n though its different, its still christmas.
