@theBaron0530 Октябер translit is Oktyaber father is отец otyets somehow I may have mis spelled simple phonetic word? "O" kinda makes "aw" or "ow" sound "ВОДКА" (VODKA) pronounced "vowdka".

Russians celebrate Christmas in January because Epiffany (however it should be spelt) is traditionally on January the 6th and Jesus got his presents then.
@AthenaAtDelphi Doesn't even matter, they give presents on New Years anyway, which is like their Christmas.... Christmas is an american invention anyway, no one celebrates it.

uhhh dumb question.... christmas? russians celebrate three kings day....... and all other jewish holidays. Also, the Russian language is not similar to Polish, it comes from the Polish language.
@AthenaAtDelphi yes, they do celebrate three kings day, like serbians because they are orthodox christians. i dont know what kind of communist traditions they used to have for example in my home country they used to celebrate "name" days instead of birthdays. you could also bribe teachers with vodka... the good old days as they say.
@standrze Sorry for being unclear . I thought your answer to Marina's question "Why do Russians celebrate Christmas in January ?" was that Russians do not celebrate Christmas in January , but Three Kings Day instead .
I know they celebrate TKD ('Theophany of Christ') . Not in early January (Gregorian) , but on 19 January (= 6 January Julian) .
@norm1955 no Russian is nothing like Greek just some letters are similar,Russian language is similar to a lot of easter European countrys like Ukraine,Belarus,Croatia,Serbia,Poland,Czech Republic,Albania...

@hotforwords It MIGHT be 'carryover to the Gregorian calender while feasts remain in the Julian calendar' (@ddranger2003 said), but it also might have something to do The Annunciation (which is on Janurary 7, after the twelve days of Christmas), or maybe something else.

@mythmanjay its becuase they don't celebrate the actual birth of christ, its like the jewish religion is this respect. Russians are orthodox catholics.
@mythmanjay "but it also might have something to do The Annunciation (...), or maybe something else."
The difference between the Gregorian and the Julian calendar is the only reason .
A quote from the 'Eastern Orthodox usage' section of the Wikipedia article 'Julian calendar' ( bit[dot]ly[slash]7Sy8Y1 ) :
"The Orthodox Churches of Jerusalem, Russia (...) continue to use the Julian calendar, thus they celebrate the Nativity on 25 December Julian (which is 7 January Gregorian until 2100)."
@mythmanjay (1/2) "... about the Russians sticking to the Julian calendar. Maybe all of us should do that, celebrating days as they were originally celebrated."
You don't understand . The Gregorian calender was introduced to do just that !
The Julian year is approx. 11 minutes to long , so the Julian calendar takes too much time (11 minutes) to add another year , which means that the Julian calendar gets behind (approx. 7.8 days every 1K years) .
@mythmanjay (2/2) Eventually , in the very far future , Russians will be celebrating Christmas in the summer , while their Julian calendar will still say that it's 25 December !
See : bit[dot]ly[slash]9HcnqL and bit[dot]ly[slash]dywyU6 .

Julian calender, followed by eastern orthodox people, which most Russians are eastern orthodox, in the julian calendar, Christmas falls on January 7th.....i know this because i live in a predominantly Russian-american area, and we get it off from school, but i don't follow eastern orthodox, im Roman Catholic, and part Russian;)
@oddcatalyst so that way even if you are uninterested in the video content you still continue to watch and probably even hit the like button...or watch more of her videos :)
Because Russia uses the Julian calender as opposed to the Gregorian calender used in the west. This is because Russia, prior to the October Revolution of 1917, was predominantly Orthodox Christian compared to the predominantly Protestant and Catholic Christian countries of the west.
@GeorgyKiladze77 That's exactly what I am saying. Maybe I can copy and paste what I typed in Russian.
.
Удивительно, насколько близко английские звуки с названиями месяцев. Мне это нравится. Это показывает еще одну грань того, как английский имеет такие глубокие корни в Европе.
the reason is that the Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old Julian Calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar, which is adopted by most countries in the world (and by the Russian government). therefore: 25 December (Julian) = January 7 (Gregorian).
on a side note, we start our celebration on the 24. of December, we open our presents in the evening on the 24. instead of the morning on the 25.
@Fallerup "we open our presents in the evening on the 24. instead of the morning on the 25."
That's because in ancient (Jewish/Christian) history , a new day started at sunset , not at 00:00h . So what you/we now call the evening of 24 December , for them was the morning of 25 December !
In the Netherlands we have exactly the same phenomenon with the celebration of 'Sinterklaas' . Officially it's on the 6th of December , but "we open our presents" on the evening before , at : 'Pakjesavond' .
My guess is that the Russian Orthodox Church believes that January is the month that Jesus was born. The Great Schism marks the time when Orthodox split from the Roman Catholic Church which follows more of the old roman calendar of holidays. Dec 25th was originally a pagan holiday in the old roman calendar
@therealhardrock в(v), р(r), у(oo), н(n), с(s), ь(is soft sign),х(a hard h, or kh as K is silent),е(ye)
А,Т,О,К,М are letters that are same as latin a,t,o,k,m. Other letters of cyrillic alphabet are unique to russian. Not knowing greek I ame pretty sure they are different. I think Russian "L" is same as greek though.
Early Christians followed the god of the new year, who was born in Jan. 1st. But they waited till the 7th day to celebrate. They replaced the pagan god of new year and celebrated Christ's B-day instead. Orthodox Russians still follow that original tradition.
The reason is that the Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old Julian Calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar.
Hello My Teacher. I did it! I did my homework! Russia celebrates Christmas in January because The Russian Orthodox Church still goes by The Julian Calendar which is 13 days behind The The Gregorian Calendar we use and The Russian government still uses. :)

@GeorgyKiladze77 That's exactly what I am saying. Maybe I can copy and paste what I typed in Russian.

Удивительно, насколько близко английские звуки с названиями месяцев. Мне это нравится. Это показывает еще одну грань того, как английский имеет такие глубокие корни в Европе.

here is the answer to your question:
the reason is that the Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old Julian Calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar, which is adopted by most countries in the world (and by the Russian government). therefore: 25 December (Julian) = January 7 (Gregorian).
on a side note, we start our celebration on the 24. of December, we open our presents in the evening on the 24. instead of the morning on the 25.

@Fallerup "we open our presents in the evening on the 24. instead of the morning on the 25."
That's because in ancient (Jewish/Christian) history , a new day started at sunset , not at 00:00h . So what you/we now call the evening of 24 December , for them was the morning of 25 December !
In the Netherlands we have exactly the same phenomenon with the celebration of 'Sinterklaas' . Officially it's on the 6th of December , but "we open our presents" on the evening before , at : 'Pakjesavond' .

Eastern orthodox countries celebrate Christmas in January. There was a revival in 1992 after the Soviet Union

Russians celebrate Christmas in January because they follow the Julian calendar of the Orthodox church. I'm a good student ;)

My guess is that the Russian Orthodox Church believes that January is the month that Jesus was born. The Great Schism marks the time when Orthodox split from the Roman Catholic Church which follows more of the old roman calendar of holidays. Dec 25th was originally a pagan holiday in the old roman calendar

Is it mere coincidence that a lot of Cyrillic letters happen to look like Latin letters but are pronounced like other Latin letters?

@therealhardrock в(v), р(r), у(oo), н(n), с(s), ь(is soft sign),х(a hard h, or kh as K is silent),е(ye)
А,Т,О,К,М are letters that are same as latin a,t,o,k,m. Other letters of cyrillic alphabet are unique to russian. Not knowing greek I ame pretty sure they are different. I think Russian "L" is same as greek though.

The russian orthodox church follows the julian calendar which is 13 days behind the Gregorian which is what some countries have adopted.
Therefore from december 25th to january 7th, russians are celebrating something.
Pretty cool
chigozie123 3 months ago
Early Christians followed the god of the new year, who was born in Jan. 1st. But they waited till the 7th day to celebrate. They replaced the pagan god of new year and celebrated Christ's B-day instead. Orthodox Russians still follow that original tradition.

@aakk009 its something i suggested to her 2 years ago.
with running out of words to "investigate" (English words)
& many people asking about where she is from, well most people know for a while she is from Russia.
so im guessing there was more people asking her to teach Russian.
i hope she does a series of these.

Hello My Teacher. I did it! I did my homework! Russia celebrates Christmas in January because The Russian Orthodox Church still goes by The Julian Calendar which is 13 days behind The The Gregorian Calendar we use and The Russian government still uses. :)
