In the Verkhovna Rada saw "zrada" in the date of the celebration of Orthodox Christmas
38
A draft law has been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which (difficult to believe) links the law on de-communization and de-Sovietisation to the date of the celebration of Orthodox Christmas. The authors of the bill believe that Ukraine should not celebrate the feast of the Nativity of Christ on January 7, since this date "has moved to the Ukrainian calendar from the calendar of the Soviet Union." There is no information about exactly where the current Ukrainian parliamentarians saw the Christmas holiday in the Soviet calendar.
Informational portal "PolitNavigator" cites a statement by one of the co-authors of legislative initiative No. 5496 - Evgeny Rybchinsky. Rybchinsky is deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on ATO veterans.
Rybchinsky, who first represented Petro Poroshenko’s Block, then the People’s Will interfractional association:
Only three of the 15 local Orthodox churches of the world celebrate Christmas on January 7. All the rest is celebrating 25 December. That is, to say that it is 7 of January that Orthodox Christmas is impossible in principle, because most Orthodox churches celebrate Christmas on the eve of the New Year, and not after. Back in 1923, the All-Orthodox Council in Constantinople decided that Orthodox Christians of the world would celebrate Christmas, according to a more accurate Gregorian calendar. And only countries that were under the significant influence of the Soviet Union did not agree then to implement the decisions of the Council.
Rybchinsky continues:
As is known, the Russian Federation became the heir of the USSR, which annexed our Crimea and occupied significant territories of the Ukrainian Donbass. Russia has never perceived the European aspirations of an independent Ukraine. And one of these aspirations is to return to the common Christian values on which European civilization is built.
On what, I wonder, "common Christian" values is European civilization built? - On the fire at the stake and the sale of indulgences?
Taking into account all the recent Ukrainian events, such deputies as Rybchinsky should celebrate the Christmas of Judah and be sure to include it in the party calendar.
