Christmas in January

Members of the Russian Orthodox Church of Three Saints in Garfield celebrate the Divine Liturgy of St. John Nativity of Jesus Christ. In accordance with the old Julian calendar, the Russian Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January, thirteen days after the Western Christmas on December 25th. The Russian Orthodox Christmas is certainly a time spent observing solemn rituals and contemplating serious matters, but is also a most joyous occasion for families to gather together and enjoy each other's company.

At the beginning of the video there is a mistake. The candles in the red jars are not Orthodox candles. The yellow wax candles are Orthodox. And the Orthodox cross is different. However, it's nice to see that people in USA also know about it and celebrate it. :) МИР БОЖИЈИ ХРИСТОС СЕ РОДИ.
