Orthodox Christians Celebrate Christmas Eve Today
During this time, the main preparations for Christmas take place. It is customary to spend it in prayer, gratitude, humility, and anticipation of the bright holiday. Church services are also entirely dedicated to it.
On Christmas Eve, nothing was eaten until the "evening star," and people did not even sit at the table.
With the appearance of the first joyful star in the sky, which once announced the birth of the Savior to the Magi, the celebration could begin.
