Orthodox Christmas
Christianity: Eastern Orthodox
It is an annual celebration that is recognized as the day that Jesus of Nazareth was born.
Date details: Orthodox Christians follow the Julian calendar and mark Christmas on January 7, instead of December 25.
General practices: Church service, Holy Supper, walking into a body of water, and visiting family.
Potential accommodations: This holiday typically falls during winter break, so academic accommodations may not be required. However many Eastern Orthodox employees will probably request this day off.
