Why don't Greeks celebrate Christmas on this date as well?

My Orthodox family celebrates Easter on a different date to my Catholic family but not Christmas.

In the 1920s it was decided that Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on Dec 25th.
Only the Serbian and Russian Churches stayed on the old calendar for this holiday.

Today is Christmas Eve, according to Julian calendar.

I wish Merry Christmas to all forum members who celebrate Christmas according to Old calendar.

Merry Christmas to all Orthodox brothers and sisters worldwide.


Мир Божији - Христос се роди!

Merry Christmas everyone. Just back from Christmas Liturgy in my local church, it's abnormal -23c here in Moscow, but it feels so warm.

Georgian Church, too. In Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Romania this calendar switch became a reason for a massive schism of "old calendarists" which exists until now in big numbers (more than 1 mln just in Ro). Any schism is unacceptable, but the reason why it happened is understandable.
