Orthodox Christmas celebrations happen for most of the month of January.(Submitted by Barb Dedi)
Some Saskatchewanians have begun their annual celebration of Orthodox Christmas.
Christmas Eve, according to the Julian calendar, is Jan. 6. Christmas Day is Jan. 7. Christmas Eve dinner involves 12 meatless dishes, including borscht, perogies and fish. The food is one of the most important elements, Bard Dedi said. Dedi has been hosting Orthodox Christmas dinner at her home for years. Every year, she tries to get a diverse group of people together so new people can experience it.
This year, her celebration is pretty small because of COVID-19, but she and her family are still hand-making everything.
