Today, Orthodox Christians in Russia celebrate Christmas. There were festive services in churches last night and this morning. The end of Christmas Lent and festive celebrations. Best wishes to all! Now we are waiting for the new year, which according to the Eastern calendar will come in six days. What a jolly country we have - celebrating two new years!

Yes, in Syria, I am also in my city of Latakia, we celebrate the Orthodox Christmas. I wish you a happy celebration, my beautiful friend. By the way, we have a lot of Russian soldiers and officers here in my city.

  Merry Christmas to you too! How do you feel about the Russian military being in your country? Is it considered assistance or occupation?

    I will speak as I always am, with absolute frankness without lying or beautification, Russia is a friendly country, and when it came to the Hmeimim base near my place of residence, we felt safe because it was repelling many attacks on the coast and thanks to it and the Syrian army we live safely, but I hope it will not be an occupation, as long as She is a welcome friend

      Thank you for your honest answer! I am always interested in the opinion of ordinary people, because Russia-TV propaganda may say one thing, USA-TV another, but people know how things really are...
