I saw that there was another late-Christmas celebration day!Menolly wrote:I learned something new today. I'm prepared with an image for Christmas celebrated by the Orthodox Churches tomorrow. But, I found out the one country which celebrates today is Armenia. I'm trying to celebrate the season for everyone so...
Merry Christmas!
So it's Armenia. (The site I was looking at said "1 country on January 6th, and [several. 4?] countries on January 7th."
After which I googled/duckduckgo'd "Does Russia celebrate Christmas on January 7th?"
Well, I have an excuse to mail Rusmeister! (I almost wrote "Rusemeister." That too.) I can say Merry Christmas!
Who was our other major Eastern Orthodox (or something similar?) Watcher? Was it Wyldewode? I just remember it was some cool person who came before me! You DM her a Merry Christmas, Menolly? (I mean, it has some percent chance of being pitched to spam... boo.. but it also might work.)
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

The other Watcher I'm certain of is Zahir, who I hope will see my post on Facebook. But, I'm trying to refrain from the phrase "To those celebrating," and am acknowledging the season in general.
