IMEU wishes all a wonderful Orthodox Christmas! In Palestine, Christmas is celebrated several times, including on December 25th and again on January 7th for Orthodox Christmas. Palestinian Orthodox Christians constitute one of the oldest Christian denominations. The Christmas season is deeply rooted in Palestinian culture and is an integral part of Palestinian history. "We have the Armenians, the Latins, the Greek Orthodox. Everybody has their own calendar, so this makes the date of Christmas different. We happily celebrate Christmas for a very long period. We talk about two months of celebration." Palestinian Franciscan Father Rami Asakrieh, the Catholic parish priest at the Church of the Nativity.
