Christmas on December 25: folk omens and what is categorically not allowed to do.

According to ТСН: Tomorrow, December 25, the Orthodox calendar celebrates Christmas. This holiday symbolizes God's love for humanity. The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem marked the beginning of a new era — a time of hope, mercy, and salvation. As the gospel stories testify, Jesus appeared to the world in poverty, in a manger, which emphasizes His humility and closeness to every person, regardless of wealth or background.

Christmas is mentioned in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The Virgin Mary and righteous Joseph arrived in Bethlehem for the census. On the night of Jesus' birth, angels announced to the shepherds the great joy, and wise men from the East came to the Infant with gifts — gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Christmas reminds us of the values of family, kindness, forgiveness, and mutual support. It is a time when hearts open to love, and faith in goodness becomes particularly strong.
