“Old Calendar” Christmas

Today, many Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Christians, who still follow the Julian Calendar (now running thirteen days behind the newer and more accurate Gregorian Calendar), will celebrate the Feast of the Nativity. This is particularly the case in parts of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and with "Old Calendar" jurisdictions here in North America (such as the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia). It is surely advantageous to do your last-minute shopping when everyone else is finished, but it is otherwise a truly counter-cultural practice. Here we feature a collection of Slavic Christmas hymns, sung in both English and Slavonic. Christos Razdajetsja!     Christ is born! Slavite Jeho!     Glorify him!
