Short introduction

At Christmas, the Orthodox Church calls the Nativity Day, which is a Christian holiday to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

The church usually sets this holiday on December 25th. It is an important holiday in the Christian liturgical calendar. Some denominations will prepare for it through Advent and Christmas Eve, and continue to celebrate with eight-day celebrations and liturgical festivals. Christmas is also a public holiday in many countries and regions, especially in Western countries and other areas where Christian culture is the mainstream; in occasions outside the church, Christmas has been transformed into a folk holiday. It is often referred to as the "Christmas and New Year Season" together with the Gregorian New Year with a similar date.
