Thread: Merry Christmas/Hristos se Rodi

I just wanted to wish every Eastern Orthodox member Merry Christmas!

Oh. And I thought it was just my calendar that was having an Epiphany yesterday.

Right back at ya, Illy!

Thanks X. I'm aware of at least 2 other members celebrating it today, but I could be missing someone

I moved the three kings into the nativity scene in my house yesterday, if that counts. I'm Jewish, so don't celebrate Christmas, but my wife is Catholic. I like the idea of giving gifts on Three Kings Day (or St. Nicholas day) instead of Christmas, but this year my wife and son went to Costa Rica so waiting until now to exchange gifts was not an option.

Vistina se rodi! Thanx Ilija, I'm off to a dinner, since I got a little godson 2 days ago, and what a better moment to celebrate

cheers,
Nenad

St. Nicholas is the patron-saint of my family. We celebrate his day on December 19th, which is probably like 2 weeks after the Catholics lol.
Nenade, congrats! Now the important question... Is the kid going to be named Robert (Wade), George (Butler), Pierre (Thiers), Joseph (Tyzack) or Samuel (Butcher)?

hello ilijia,

veselogo rizdva.

thanks,
mike

Out of curiosity Mikey, where are you from? I'm half-Serbian, half-Macedonian by birth, dual Serbian/Canadian by citizenship

Καλά Χριστούγενα Ilija!!

OK, I'm late, shoot me.

I'm (Greek) Orthodox Christian myself; though we actually celebrate Christmas on the 25 of December .

Thanks George. I used to know the proper hail and response for both Xmas and Easter in Greek but i forgot them. Those little differences like in dating are funny considering that our churches stem from yours and are identical in both the articles of faith and church administration.
