Old styled photo















      These pictures are taken on January 7. This day several churches that belong to the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrate Christmas according to Julian Calendar adopted by Julius caesar in 45 BC. That calendar was used till 1582 when a new - Gregorian  Calendar was accepted by Pope Gregory XIII.
