Orthodox Christmas 2016. Sincere congratulations, children's poems, songs, Christmas carols
In the New Year holidays we celebrate one morefavorite holiday - Orthodox Christmas 2016, revered by millions of believers. On the eve, on Christmas Eve, people go to church for service, consecrate food and cleanse their thoughts, and also come to visit their godparents and bring traditional kutya. Children go to Orthodox Christmas caroling: they knock on doors, sing songs and carols, for which they receive coins and sweets. The very Christmas, January 7, we prefer to spend with loved ones. These lovely Christmas traditions are observed from year to year, confirming that more than two thousand years ago the Star of the Magi was not lit up in vain!
Orthodox Christmas 2016: why celebrate on January 7?
In the West, Christmas is celebrated on December 25, andus - on the 7th of January. A logical question arises: where are such inconsistencies? There is no intrigue here, it's only in a slightly different countdown. As we remember from history, in the 16th century Europe switched to the Gregorian calendar, and we continued to live in the Julian calendar. We switched to the Gregorian only at the beginning of the 20th century, but the church did not support this change. Thus, in the civilized world there are two dates for the celebration of Christmas - December 25 and January 7. In our country, they love Christmas very much, like a holiday, and they even prepare congratulations on this in advance. Before you is just such a selection of the freshest congratulations!

Orthodox verses for the Nativity of Christ for children
Christmas poems in the performance of children are alwayslead the adults into emotion, they are naive and solemn at the same time. Be sure to learn them with your children, and tell them the Old Testament stories from the Bible.
Ah, this night is full of wonders!
Angels fly from heaven,
The desert takes care.
And everything stops in the world ...
You can not hear the breeze,
The river is silent, thoughtful,
And the children quietly fall asleep in the cradle.
The night is bright.
How strange.
Hosanna,
Hosanna!
The time of Christmas is coming,
And in the path go three sorcerers.
At them in palms
incense, gold and myrrh
They carry gifts with them,
And the worlds part
Before the fire of an unseen world
Star of Bethlehem is still small.
And on the ground a lot of evil.
But the night is bright,
And the world meets her with a song ...
And we'll go for her there,
Where the star will point the way,
And we will be together,
Forever we will be together.
The night is bright.
How strange.
Hosanna,
Hosanna!
