Merry Christmas to all who celebrate Nativity on January 6 & 7! by fusion-of-horizons
I think it should be a rule that everybody celebrate everybody else’s happy holidays so that every month the whole year long is filled with festivities and happy holiday cheer. Now that Christmas and New Year’s Eve and day as most people- at least in the Western world-Â celebrate is over, we can now start preparing for the Eastern Orthodox Christmas which comes on January 7th.
Traditionally Eastern Orthodox Christmas was celebrated with vegetables making up most of the foods served. Orthodox Christmas food may include:
- Nuts and fresh dried fruits.
- Vegetables and herbs such as potatoes, peas, and garlic.
- Mushroom soup.
- Slow-cooked kidney beans with potatoes, garlic and seasoning.
- Bobal’ki (small biscuits combined with sauerkraut or poppy seed with honey).
- Bowl of honey.
