Hi Elena, joyfully, I wanted to thank you for
doing the International Christmas at El Mundo
del Tango. You obviously went to great effort
and expense. The decorations were festive and
the music was so beautiful. I enjoyed seeing
the dancers in Russian costumes. Your table of
Russian dolls and boxes was very interesting.
All in all, it was an enjoyable evening. Valdene

In the Eastern Orthodox faith, it is customary to fast on Christmas Eve Day (January 6), then gather together for a big meal. Just like the western variety, Russian
Christmas -- also known as the Feast of Saint Nicholas -- is a joyous time for family and friends. Meat is forbidden during Russian Christmas. Instead, it is traditional to
serve kutya, a vegetarian porridge consisting of various types of wheat and grain sweetened with honey, along with such side dishes as fresh fruit, beans, and potatoes.
It is very symbolic with its ingredients being various grains for hope and honey and poppy seed for happiness and peace. Although all of the food served is strictly Lenten,
it is served in an unusually festive and anticipatory manner and style (The Holy Supper). In Russia, the big Christmas service is conducted not on Christmas morning, but
on Christmas Eve and it lasts until 2 or 3 in the morning. Gather around the yolka - Russian version of a Christmas tree, introduced to the country in the 17th century by
the ever-westernizing Peter the Great.

Christmas Time in Russia had a rather tenuous status in the Soviet Union, although the holiday was officially frowned upon, many enterprising citizens turned it into a New
Years festival, complete with a Santa - like figure called Grandfather Frost. Thirteen days after Western Christmas, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates its Christmas,
in accordance with the old Julian calendar. It's a day of both solemn ritual and joyous celebration. On the Eve of Christmas, it is traditional for all family members to gather
to share a special meal. The various foods and customs surrounding this meal differed in Holy Russia from village to village. A white table-cloth, symbolic of Christ's
swaddling clothes, covers the Table. Hay is brought forth as a reminder of the poverty of the Cave where Jesus was born. A tall white candle is place in the center white
table-cloth, symbolic of Christ's swaddling clothes, covers the Table. Hay is brought forth as good things in the coming year. The head of the family greets those present
with the a reminder of the poverty of the Cave where Jesus was born. A tall white candle is place in the center. Christmas greeting: Christ is Born!The family members
respond: Glorify Him!The Mother of the family blesses each person in the form of a cross on each forehead, saying: In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, may you have sweetness and many good things in life and in the New Year. Following this, everyone partakes of the bread, dipping it first in honey and then in
chopped garlic. Honey is symbolic of the sweetness of life, and garlic of the bitterness. The Holy Supper is then eaten. In Russia, Traditional Russian Christmas involves
special prayers and a fast of 39 days till the first star appears in the sky on Christmas Eve (which falls on 6th of January in Russia). Traditional Russian Christmas dishes
include fish, beet soup known as Borsch, cabbage stuffed with millet and cooked dried fruit. Hay is spread on the floors and tables so that horse feed grows abundantly in
the coming year. On Christmas Day, people sing hymns and carols and gather in church.
