Orthodox Christmas: Conflicts and celebrations In the Western world we often neglect that there is a vibrant church in the East. In 1954 AD the Eastern and Western churches separated.

Anyway, today sections of this Eastern Orthodox Church celebrate Christmas. I thought I would share with you this explanation of the Orthodox traditions and how groups are trying to re-identify with their spiritual past. Many thanks to Brian J Požun for providing this insight. christmas • orthodox • struggles • identity • faith
