Christmas

Jan

Christmas on January 7th is a special day for people who follow the Orthodox Christian faith. It's like a birthday party for Jesus, who is very important to them. They celebrate by going to church, singing songs, and being with family. Just like the Christmas on December 25th, people might give gifts, eat tasty food, and enjoy being together. It's a time for happiness and showing love, and it happens later because they use a different calendar, called the Julian calendar, to pick the date. Everyone has their own special way to celebrate, and that's really cool!
