    • Yes, but Serbia, Russia, Georgia … celebrate the Julian calendar … on January 6 and 7.But that does not matter ..The theme of the inscription is food that is preparing for dinner. I wish you a happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.

  1. Those dates you say are not in the old calendar. I am an Orthodox Christian from Bulgaria. Christmas Eve is on December 24th. At the dinner table there are only post-vegetarian foods. On December 25 is Christmas.
