How Christmas is celebrated in Russia

 

C рождеством! or Счастливого рождества





 , Is happy/merry Christmas in Russian.

Russians observe Christmas on January 7 which follows the Julian calendar used by the Russian Orthodox Church. Orthodox Christian Russians don’t eat on Christmas Eve until the first star is in the sky that night. At this time they eat a porridge made from wheat or rice with honey, poppy seeds, berries, and nuts called Kutia.

There are some Catholic Russians that still celebrate it on December 25th.

 

 

Russian new year more important than Christmas

New Year celebrations are still very important to Russians

it is when 'Father Frost' (Дед Мороз) brings

 

presents to children. He is always

 

accompanied by his Grandaughter

 

(Snegurochka). On New Year's eve children

 

hold hands, make a circle around the

 

 Christmas tree and call for both of them. They bring light to the Christmas tree.

Things to celebrated new year in Russia



- Russian family will decorate their house in a beautiful and extravagant way including add a glittering Christmas tree.



- During the New Year celebrations, a traditional Russian family will make a sophisticated dinner.



- Just before midnight, the Russian President addresses the nation with a short speech in which he reflects on the past year and thanks the people for their support. Right after the speech, the chiming clock on the Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower is shown counting down the last few seconds of the year.



- Local Russians bid farewell to the old year by counting the chimes of the Kremlin Spasskaya Clock Tower



- In Russia, no one goes to bed on New Years Eve, even the children stay up until the early hours of the morning. It is essential to watch the fireworks on New Years, which accompanies with lots of celebrations and dancing









- Russians welcome the New Year by saying “S Novim Godom!” (С Новым годом!).

- Grandfather Frost – instead of Santa, Russian children believe in the no less mythical Grandfather Frost who wears a long blue or red fur coat, a matching hat and felt boots and carries gifts in a large sack on his back. In addition to the sack with gifts, Grandfather Frost carries a magical staff that has the power to freeze everything around him. Unlike Santa, Grandfather Frost doesn’t rely on reindeer to fly him around, but instead walks and skies a lot (no potbelly!) or drives his magical team of three horses.



- It is traditional for gifts to be given after midnight on New Years. Unlike gifts being given on Christmas, they are given and received on new years
