Best Comet of 2025?
C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) has already become very faintly visible to the naked eye for observers in the Southern Hemisphere.
Many Orthodox Christians annually celebrate Christmas Day on or near January 7 to remember Jesus Christ’s birth, described in the Christian Bible. This date works to the Julian calendar that pre-dates the Gregorian calendar, which is commonly observed.
Is Orthodox Christmas Day a Public Holiday?
This is a legal holiday for Orthodox Christians only. It is not a public holiday for the general population, so schools and most businesses are open.
Some Orthodox Christians visit a church to pray or reflect on inner thoughts in the lead up to the Orthodox Christmas Day.
