Zelensky is complete jag bag

Next, they will change the official language to Swedish.

[null and void]

What a suck up!

Show me the Biblical fixing of the date...

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.

That'll learn 'em.

I'm a Festivus man myself.

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

[Veto!]

We’re supposed to be impressed?

Really? Zelensky slithers on his belly like a reptile.

[Reno89519]

This civil war is getting into absurdities.

[Adder]

NATO requirement?

So everybody has office parties the same time?

[wiseprince]

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.

The change was passed by Ukraine’s parliament

[House Atreides]

He ABANDONED EASTERN ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS… not just Russian Orthodox!

[mass55th]

Have they stopped eating Russian borscht, and drinking Russian vodka yet?

[Allegra]

Ukraine is so eager to spite Russia, it passed a law changing when it celebrates Christmas.

How childish. 🙄

[Ezekiel]

>>>The change was passed by Ukraine’s parliament earlier this month and signed into law Friday by President Volodymyr Zelensky.<<<

Show me the Biblical fixing of the date...

“ he’s recognizing that fact as an emphasis to show Russia is an outlier when it comes to principal tenets of Christianity.”
*****************************************************

Sorry… then THIS Non-Christian is DECREEING THAT ALL (e.g., Greek, Ukrainian) OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY is an outlier. How friggin’ presumptuous!

Old Calendar Orthodox churches, and there are many in the US, Romania, Bulgaria, and Cypress.

the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem,
the Russian Orthodox Church,
the Serbian Orthodox Church,
the Georgian Orthodox Church.

Mount Athos subordinate to the Patriarchate of Constantinople also follows the Julian Calendar.”

Geez, I know that they are at war and everything, but this?
Looks like they’re done playin’.
