How to wish someone a happy christian russian orthodox christmas?
I just found out my recent good friend doesnt celebrate christmas, he specifically said ' my christmas is janurary 7th' So how does he celebrate and do i wish him a merry christmas that day or how do I do so? I havent had a chance to ask him. Thanks!|||He celebrates xmas on January 7th - its still xmas, but usually with st. nick instead of santa.
You would say, 'Merry xmas."
You wouldn't say, "Happy christian born again non-denominational protestant xmas" would you????
or, "Happy christian southern baptist protestant xmas" or "Happy christian roman catholic xmas"
Why does it matter exactly how he celebrates it - everyone celebrates xmas their own way, it's impossible to know exactly how. He probably goes to church and then comes home to a meal with family and friends.|||Wait until January 7 and say "merry christmas". It's the same holiday only on a different date. It has to do with the changing of the calendar.|||Same way basically.|||As someone already said, it is just because of using the old-church calendar as opposed to the revised julian (western) calendar. So - say Merry Christmas! and if you want - you could say "Christ is Born", after which he would say "Glorify Him!"|||When you talk to him on January 7, say "Christ is Born!" He will probably appreciate it more, though, if you say "Christos razdajetsja!" :)
