So this coming Sunday is January 1, 2017 but, while most American Christians will be celebrating New Year’s Day, we Orthodox will be celebrating the Feast of the Circumcision, because we celebrated the beginning of the New Year back on September 1st of 2016. Which, for most of you, is going to just be further evidence that we Orthodox Christians are totally weird, but, in our current culture, weird isn’t a bad thing to be.
