Happy Eastern Christmas
Friday, January 8th, 2010Happy Christmas to all the Oriental (Eastern) Christians who celebrate the joyous feast as per the Julian calendar. Today 7 January is 25 December on the old calendar. I am sure that yesterday was a Meatless Wednesday as is the custom for a meatless vigil. Also the eve of Epiphany is a Lenten meatless day in many Eastern cultures. Happy holydays!
