The Orthodox Church of Ukraine approved the transition to the New Julian calendar

July 27 2023

The current Ukrainian government continues to do everything to move away from everything that connects Ukraine with Russia, seeking to impose Western "values" on its people. One of the areas where such a policy is being pursued is the spiritual life.

In Ukraine, representatives of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) are being increasingly oppressed, and the schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) is actively advancing, which is acting in the direction of moving away from the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC).

According to Ukrainian media, today the OCU at the Local Council, held in the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, approved the transition to the New Julian calendar. The transition to the new calendar should take place from September 1.

With the introduction of these changes, the followers of the OCU will celebrate religious holidays like Catholics and some other Orthodox churches, and not like the ROC does.

Christmas will now be celebrated not on January 7, but on December 25, and Epiphany - not on December 19, but on January 6. However, the change to the New Julian calendar will not affect lunar holidays such as Easter.

The New Julian calendar appeared in May 1923, when the Council of Eastern Orthodox Churches in Constantinople, in order not to accept the Gregorian calendar used by Catholics, introduced a new calendar called the New Julian. However, in fact, this calendar is not much different from the Catholic version.

Epiphany has never been celebrated in December. This is a January holiday.

  Antichrists do not care when the holidays are, the main thing is that everything is the other way around and against the words of the Lord. Everything must be turned upside down, black is called white.

    Well, what can you do if the Gregorian calendar matches the real astronomical calendar much better than the Julian one? If the Orthodox Church continues to persist in rejecting this fact, then the Nativity of Christ will eventually shift to spring, and then to summer.
    The failure of the Julian calendar in our country was recognized back in 1918, it turns out that we are all antichrists?

        Maybe the fact that the whole world, including our country, lives precisely according to the Gregorian? The fact that it is when using this particular calendar that the same date remains within one weather season, and according to the Julian, in a couple of thousand years the shift will be already a month? The fact that you, like all those who use the chronology from the Nativity of Christ, celebrate your birthday according to the Gregorian calendar?
        If all this is not enough for you, then I, in principle, do not care - the presence of certain groups of people who are ready to cut each other's throats because of disagreements about which end to break an egg from has long been known. Religions, of course, they are all for peace and love, but there have been more than enough religious wars in the history of mankind, and how those who preach love for their neighbor love to burn heretics! And heretics, including those who celebrate the birthday of our Lord on the wrong day (the wrong one from their - the only correct point of view).

        I would like to know more about the shift for a month, I can’t understand how it will happen. On the other hand, what difference does it make to me what will happen in 2000 years, most likely there will be nothing. And it should also be noted that it is a delusion that the whole world lives by the Western calendar, but it is accepted for convenience in the framework of labor and production processes, but China and India (and this is almost half of the planet) remember their holidays and celebrate them according to their calendars.

      And for Catholics, everything is logical and expedient ...
      For example sale of indulgences
      
      In the case of a discrepancy between the "calendar" - the question is not "in numbers", but in "Vera"...
      The same can be said about Catholics...
      What is "guilty" Protestants before Catholics ?? - that hold church services in their native language, "good Catholics" in LATIN... Why are Catholics stubborn? - Read prayers in your native language... - There is no "matter of principle" to read prayers in Latin.

    "Orthodoxy", i.e., the "correct faith", was just invented during the period of the Nikon reform ... Old Believers / Old Believers are not "Orthodox". If somewhere they think wrong, then this is either a delusion, or inside the Old Believers - a split and heresy ...

In the past, diseases were treated with methods that make us smile today, but this does not make us judge modern medicine as if we were in the Middle Ages.

Interesting fact:
The New Julian calendar was introduced by Patriarch Tikhon for use in the Russian Orthodox Church on October 15, 1923!
But already on November 8, 1923, the same Patriarch Tikhon ordered “the widespread and mandatory introduction of a new style into church use. temporarily postpone».

So the ROC MF has long begun the transition to the New Julian calendar, just now there is a very long transition period!
