ukranian christmas

January 7th is Ukrainian Christmas for those who acknowledge or celebrate this time of year according to the Julian Calendar.

Ukrainian Christmas falls on January 7th because Ukrainians use the Julian Calendar. In 1528, Pope Gregory XIII changed the Julian Calendar. The new Gregorian Calendar better represented the changing seasons. But the world's millions of Ukrainians chose to keep using the old Julian Calendar and have so ever since.
