      Russian Orthodox, though just about all the other Orthodox churches (Greek, Ukranian, Romanian, Serbian, Armenian, Bulgarian, etc.) use the Julian Calendar as well. :)

      By the way, how did you know that it was on the Julian Calendar? Are you Orthodox as well? ;)

no, in fact, i'm atheistic but rather interested in religion (among other things).

but apart from that, you called it "julian christmas" so i guess it wouldn't be so hard to figure out even if you don't know. ;)

In my country on Christmas it is customery to instead of saying Hello one says "Христос се роди". When someone says that the other person should respon "Воистину се роди".
This means "Christ is born" and the response is "Christ is born indeed" (I hope I spelled this right)

Sweet! I wish we did that here. Our society's become far too politcally correct and tries to forget the Creator. :mad:
