  2. Christmas in Russia • The feast of St. Nicholas (December 6) was observed for many centuries, but after the communist revolution, the celebration of the feast was suppressed. www.assignmentpoint.com Return to Index

  3. During the communist years St. Nicholas was transformed into Grandfather Frost. • Babouschka brings gifts for the children. Like Italy's La Befana, the story is that Babouschka failed to give food and shelter to the three wise men during their journey to visit the Christ Child. www.assignmentpoint.com

  4. Now Christmas is normally celebrated on January 7th (only a few Catholics might celebrate it on the 25th December). • The date is different because the Russian Orthodox church uses the old 'Julian' calendar for religious celebration days. www.assignmentpoint.com
