This calendar has been thoughtfully curated to equally celebrate, acknowledge, and embrace the richness of our community. 

Note: Select days may vary a few days before or after the indicated date due to the observance of the lunar calendar for some cultures/faiths and time zones.

Orthodox Christmas

Orthodox Christmas

Orthodox Christmas, celebrated on January 7, is a sacred holiday for Orthodox Christians, marking the birth of Jesus Christ according to the Julian calendar. This day holds deep religious significance, often beginning with a church service on Christmas Eve that includes prayers, hymns, and candle lighting. Traditional customs vary, but many families prepare a special meatless meal on Christmas Eve called Holy Supper, shared among loved ones. Orthodox Christmas is a time for community, family, and spiritual reflection, with practices such as fasting, feasting, and gift-giving, symbolizing joy and gratitude for the nativity.
