On this day, just like on December 25, when Christmas is celebrated in a new style, carolers come to people's houses to announce the Nativity of the Lord, and the housewives thank them with sweets, fruits or money.

Christmas, which is part of the 12 great princely or imperial holidays, is preceded by a 40-day fast. Along with Moldovans, Christians from Greece, the Russian Federation, Bulgaria, Georgia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia and Ethiopia also celebrate today.

The day after Christmas, on January 8, the Cathedral of the Mother of God is celebrated, and on January 9, the Holy Apostle, First Martyr and Archdeacon Stephen is commemorated.
