It's the old calendar dispute again, huh? In our parish, we solved it last year at the council and in the end we stayed with the Julian one, because the grandmothers would go crazy over it.

Here in Skopje, last year at the council in the church, we also raised that issue. We decided not to change anything, at least for now, because a grandmother from the choir told me that if we moved Christmas to December 25th, she wouldn't come anymore. It's practical, it's not just theory.
