WHY DO UKRAINIANS CELEBRATE
Christmas on January 7th rather than December 25th?
Many people wonder why the Ukrainian date is thirteen days later and only a few people are aware that it is related to a change from the calendar which was in use two thousand years ago.
Ukrainian Orthodox Church celebrates its Christmas, in accordance with the old Julian calendar. It's a day of both solemn ritual and joyous celebration
After the 1917 Revolution, Christmas was banned throughout Russia and Ukraine, along with other religious celebrations. It wasn't until 75 years later, in 1992, that the holiday was openly observed. Today, it's once again celebrated in grand fashion, with the faithful participating in an all-night Mass in incense-filled Cathedrals amidst the company of the painted icons of Saints.
Christmas is one of the most joyous traditions for the celebration of Eve comes from the Ukrainian tradition. On the Eve of Christmas, it is traditional for all family members to gather to share a special meal. The various foods and customs surrounding this meal differed from village to village and from family to family, but certain aspects remained the same.
An old tradition, whose roots are in the Orthodox faith, is the Christmas Eve fast and meal. The fast, typically, lasts until after the evening worship service or until the first star appears. The dinner that follows is very much a celebration, although, meat is not permitted. Kutya (kutia), a type of porridge, is the primary dish. It is very symbolic with its ingredients being various grains for hope and honey and poppy seed for happiness and peace |

Show your girl your love!
Give her flowers!
It used to be so difficult
to feel close in a relationship,
and then you came
into my life unexpectedly
and made everything better.
Your warm eyes,
your soft laughter,
the way you speak,
and all the kindness
you've shown me,
touched my heart in a way
that no one else ever had...

Once the first star has appeared in the sky, the festivities begin. Although all of the food served is strictly Lenten, it is served in an unusually festive and anticipatory manner and style. The Ukrainians call this meal: "The Holy Supper." The family gathers around the table to honor the coming Christ Child. A white table-cloth, symbolic of Christ's swaddling clothes, covers the Table. Hay is brought forth as a reminder of the poverty of the Cave where Jesus was born. A tall white candle is place in the center of the Table, symbolic of Christ "the Light of the World." A large round loaf of Lenten bread, "pagach," symbolic of Christ the Bread of Life, is placed next to the Candle.
The meal begins with the Lord's Prayer, led by the father of the family. A prayer of thanksgiving for all the blessings of the past year is said and then prayers for the good things in the coming year are offered. The head of the family greets those present with the traditional Christmas greeting: "Christ is Born!" The family members respond: "Glorify Him!"The Mother of the family blesses each person present with honey in the form of a cross on each forehead, saying: "In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, may you have sweetness and many good things in life and in the new year." |

 Some words about Orthodoxy Orthodoxy (in greek language Ορθοδοξία), means the proper faith. Orthododoxy is used to characterize the faith of adherents of Christianism who are members of the Greek Orthodox Church, the Russian Church and other rchdioceses that belong to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Orthodoxy is a concept of pure faith to the Holy Trinity released from human commitments to priests or the Patriarch. The most important thing is that every religionist is a free personality, who chooses wittingly to follow the teaching of Jesus Christ. In Orthodoxy, people don't believe in preists-Pope or another human being! The only pure and holy truth is the Holy Trinity.
In Orthodoxy people's sins are forgiven through the holy mystery of the confession, which is being done face to face with the priest and not in hidden, in order to make this procedure more difficult and therefore more sincere. The name orthodoxy came up after the Schism of Christian Church in two parts- The Orthodox and the Catholic Church. The argument was in the frase of the Prayer in which is said that the Holy Spirit derives from God. Catholic church believes that the Holy Spirit derives also from Jesus. That's why after the Schism the Eastern Church was renamed after the term Orthodox, to claim that the real belief was it's rules and prayers. Orthodoxy includes a hudge ecclesiastic tradition of scripts and hymns. Also several of the greatest spiritual scripts are written by Orthodox monks in greek language. |

 We wrote and spoke to each other every day, but I was just too shy to meet him. I guess I was too afraid of being hurt again. Finally, a month later, we met and hit it off immediately. I even called my mom on the way home from the date and told her that I had met the man I was going to marry someday!
 I believe that everything happens for a reason....and it all brought me to Rayne. I couldn't have asked for a better mate for life. And it's refreshing to be with a man that even thinks like me...on the same intellectual level ...

Nina about her fiance Reginald:
"I am a 28 yr old divorced female. Although, I have been divorced for 6 years, my dating life has been a nightmare. I was meeting guys in all types of ways, and have had a lot of heartache. I have often wondered if I was ever going to find anyone again. My past relationships have been both verbally & physically abusive. I had just about given up, when I was stumbling through the personal ads online, and came across an ad from a guy that lived 10 minutes away from me. His photo & ad caught my eye, so I decided to give him a try. After exchanging a few emails, he called me and we met and went out. I have come to find out, our fathers' have known each other for over 10 years, and we have been crossing paths for sometime now. He is the sweetest, most romantic guy I have ever known, from opening my car door, to bringing me roses. We are now inseparable. For anyone out there who is thinking about giving up on meeting their special someone... good things come to those who wait!
David about Natalia :
“I was in a chat room, as most online romances happen. I had been on the Internet and chatting for almost three years. I was bored one afternoon, so I decided to go into a chat room. I had been in this particular room many times before, and met some very interesting people in it. While I was in there, I noticed two girls talking. One was married and had kids, and the other was asking questions like what is was like to be a mother, etc. I was most interested in her, she sounded so sweet. So I decided to start chatting with her. We didn't get to chat long, because of the 6-hour time difference, but it was a wonderful chat. She was a few years younger than me. We got to talking about many things, mostly music though. Before she had to leave she gave me her e-mail address. A few days later while I was online someone IM'd me, and it was her. She told me who it was and we started chatting. Like most people, we had many things in common. We had similar views on life, etc. After many more conversations, I realized I was really starting to like this girl. I had promised myself before that it's just not right for people over the Internet to be "in love," and that I'd never do such a thing. It just didn't seem right to me. Since, I thought, you never knew whom you are really talking to. Well, my opinions started to change, very quickly too. Weeks later our relationship really started to get serious. I almost felt ashamed at first, because it was on the Internet, but I don't worry about it now. All I have to say is that I have never loved someone so much before. Whoever says you can't love online, obviously hasn't.” |

New Year Eve instead of Christmas
Few people in Russia and Ukraine remember, but when the communists took power in 1917 they banned the open expression of religion. While it was easy to pray at home, the people were concerned about giving up their traditional Christmas celebration. But where there is a will, there is a way!
They re-invented the New Year's holiday tradition to include a decorated tree, and introduced a character called "Grandfather Frost." Known as "Ded Moroz," Grandfather Frost looked very much like the western "Santa Claus" or "Pere Noel" - except he wore a blue suit.
Actually, Ded Moroz was a character that existed in the pagan culture, centuries earlier. For a time, Christmas was all but forgotten. In fact, it was generally celebrated only in small villages, where the citizenry was far from the prying eyes of the Party. Today, Christmas is celebrated again, on January 7. But, to date, New Year's remains the bigger event. |
