Orthodox Christmas

2007.01.10




















In Belarus we celebrate Christmas for two times a year. The second one is on January 7. This is a result of the multiconfessional character of our society. Most Belarusians are not religious and have fun to celebrate both Christmases. But the second Christmas is always little gloomy, because it completes the winter vocations.

Shamana Well, at first I thought you were kidding me when you asked if the Christmas is celebrated in December in my country...:D

Actually I'm not so religious and not even a Christian but I enjoy this holiday since my childhood when we were decorating the tree and there is such a warm feeling to it...:)

BTW, I really like the last pic!

deleted062007 This a great series of humanity on the move!! Just great shots DS!!!

It's great to be multi-cultural which Canada is the most multi-cultural society in the world, and the good thing is, we all co-exist pretty well. It is a great place to be in my lifetime. Imagine celebrating so many different holidays throughout the year from many cultures!!

openbelarus leapfrog - we are not too multiculturous. belarus is not a country of immigrants, but the society is multiconfessional
