ORTHODOX CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
The Gazette (Montreal)
January 6, 2007 Saturday
Final Edition
It's Christmas this weekend for thousands of Montrealers - Greeks,
Ukrainians, Russians, Armenians, Serbs and Copts - who follow the
Julian calendar.
The Armenians mark Christmas today and the others tomorrow; masses and
special services are being held at a dozen local Orthodox churches
and cathedrals and five Ukrainian Catholic churches. Of all the
communities, Greeks are the only one split on when to celebrate:
The vast majority marked Christmas Dec. 25, abiding by the Gregorian
calendar used by most of the Christian world. Romanian Orthodox
Christians also mark Christmas on Dec. 25.
