Nativity of Christ

Orthodox Christians celebrate the Christmas Season

Orthodox Christians might be more apt to call the Christmas season the "Feast of the Nativity of Christ". During this time we celebrate our belief that the Word of God became Incarnate! It is a time of spiritual preparation through fasting, prayer,  gift giving, remembrance, and worship.
