Here’s hoping you have a very unhappy holiday!
Ukraine is so eager to spite Russia, it passed a law changing when it celebrates Christmas.
The country will now mark the holy day on Dec. 25, dropping the Russian Orthodox Church’s tradition of celebrating the holiday on Jan. 7.
The bill’s sponsors believe the change will help Ukraine “abandon the Russian heritage of imposing the celebration of Christmas on January 7,” while helping Ukrainians “live their own life with new traditions [and] holidays,” The Guardian reported.
The change was passed by Ukraine’s parliament earlier this month and signed into law Friday by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

They need to make February 14, the Ukranian Valentines Day. “Dr. Jill” likes to do Valentines. Especially to foreign nationals.

What an idiot. What does this have to do with faith?

Well, the rest of Christendom celebrates it on the 25th, so he’s recognizing that fact as an emphasis to show Russia is an outlier when it comes to principal tenets of Christianity.

The Russian Orthodox Church uses the abandoned Julian calendar. January 7th on the Julian calendar corresponds to December 25th on the Gregorian calendar which we all use.
