Christmas in Russia is normally celebrated on January
7th (but a few Catholics might celebrate it on December
25th). The date can vary because the Russian Orthodox
Church uses the old ‘Julian’ calendar for religious celebration
days. The Orthodox Church also celebrates Advent. But it
has fixed dates, starting on November 28th and going until
January 6th, so it’s 40 days long. The official Christmas and
New Year’s holidays in Russia last from December 31st to
January 10th.
a) When is Christmas normally celebrated in Russia?
b) Why is the date different for Catholics?
c) When is the official Christmas and New Year’s holiday period in Russia?
