Christmas on January 7

  A couple of days ago, I asked everyone to pray for a Christmas truce.  I'm amending the length of the truce.  Remember a little while ago I blogged about the Julian and Gregorian calendars?  Well, the Russian Orthodox follow the Julian calendar, whereas, we follow the Gregorian.  Hence, the Russians wouldn't be celebrating Christmas on December 25.  Their Christmas is January 7 and their Christmas season would run until the Baptism on Jesus on January 19.
