While those in Nigeria, West Africa, and much of Africa celebrate the birth of Christ in December 25th, there are roughly 37 million Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia for whom January 7 is the traditional day of celebration.  Ethiopia which is located in the Horn of Africa has roughly 37 million Orthodox Christians, the world’s second-largest Orthodox population after Russia and unlike Christians in other parts of the world, they celebrate their own Christmas on January 7th. That’s because they still observe the Julian Calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar used by most of the modern world. The Christmas celebration in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is called Ganna or Genna. Several other countries including Egypt, Eritrea, Sudan and across the world celebrate the Orthodox Christmas today, commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. https://listwand.com/genna-an-ethiopian-christmas-celebrated-on-january-7th/

I was surprised to se a Christmas gift from an Ukrainian woman marking 7th as Christmas for Ukraine Christians. This explains why. That said, any day they chose to honour the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is welcome. Its the event that's significant, not the day. Both days chosen to celebrate could be wrong. Heck, the calendar we use could be wrong. 2 Likes |
