Christmas is over for many, but there are some Orthodox Christians who are looking forward to celebrating at the end of this week. Instead of using the Gregorian calendar, which is used by most of the secular for business purposes, and by many Christian sects to mark their feast days and religions observances, Orthodox churches use the Julian calendar. (Although some Orthodox sects use a revised Julian calendar that places Christmas at about the same time as what we see with non-Orthodox sects.)
As a result, the date of Christmas usually falls sometime around January 7th on the Gregorian calendar for some Orthodox churches.
