Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English:Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christianliturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an Octave. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated culturally by a large number of non-Christian people, and is an integral part of the holiday season, while some Christian groups reject the celebration. In several countries, celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24 has the main focus rather than December 25, with gift-giving and sharing a traditional meal with the family.
Ukraine Rejects Putin's Call For 36-Hour Ceasefire During Russian Orthodox Christmas

The Kremlin said the order, which was quickly dismissed by Ukraine, was in response to a proposal by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, earlier in the day, which was also dismissed by an official in the Ukrainian presidential office as propaganda.

Zelensky brands Kremlin Orthodox Christmas ceasefire as 'cover' to stop Ukrainian advance
Volodymr Zelensky accused Russia on Thursday of wanting to use a truce as cover to stop Ukrainian advances in the strategic Donbas region.
"They now want to use Christmas as a cover, albeit briefly, to stop the advances of our boys in Donbas and bring equipment, ammunitions and mobilised troops closer to our positions," President Zelensky said.
It also comes as Russian shells hit the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk on Friday morning, just hours before the ceasefire was due to start.

#World
Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English:Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christianliturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an Octave. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated culturally by a large number of non-Christian people, and is an integral part of the holiday season, while some Christian groups reject the celebration. In several countries, celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24 has the main focus rather than December 25, with gift-giving and sharing a traditional meal with the family.
Beyond its spiritual and communal significance, the orthodox Christmas Eve celebration also serves as a tourist attraction, drawing international visitors who seek to experience the rich cultural and religious heritage of Ethiopia.
Yet, while the most important liturgical day for the OrthodoxChurch is Easter, Christmas had become increasingly popular. In the last available statistics, for 2023, only 2% of Russians went to church at Easter and only 1% at Christmas.
