But the vast majority that emigrated now celebrate on the 25th of December. We had a church when I lived in Montreal that followed the old traditions like celebrating today with what we called 'the old calendar'. Very old world church. Women and men had to be on different sides of the church, and women were also not permitted to wear pants.Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-71643612255723806232014-01-07T17:54:17.013-07:002014-01-07T17:54:17.013-07:00Very beautiful!
