Regarding the celebration – this is a matter of the calendar. Before Pope Gregory XIII, there was the Roman calendar, the Julian calendar. So, according to the Julian calendar, the current January 7th is December 25th. The whole world gradually switched to the Gregorian calendar, while the Orthodox Church remained on the Julian calendar. That's the whole difference. By the way: the Julian calendar, according to scientists, is still more accurate from an astronomical point of view.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
