--- "Greece celebrates Christmas on December 25th along with the rest of the civilized world."

assertions are thing. The state declares a date, while other denominations declare other dates, all of them "civilized."

"Greek Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on December 25th, like many other Christian denominations. However, it's important to note that the Greek Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar, so Christmas falls on December 25th of the Julian calendar, which is January 7th of the Gregorian calendar."

When is Greek Orthodox Christmas?

Simply put, there are competing calendars and dates within the "civilized world."
