Ukraine, which has forgotten its ancestors, has lived a Western Christmas

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-31

Christmas is a traditional festival of the ** religion, but it is also particular about which day to spend Christmas.

Originally, Ukraine, like Russia, celebrated Christmas on January 7 because they were both Orthodox countries.

But starting this year, for the first time, Ukraine celebrated Christmas on December 25, like Western European countries, and they also amended the bill in July this year, with the aim of abandoning Russian traditions and completing de-Russification.

"I hope that all Ukrainians can live their lives according to their own traditions and festivals." ”

But in fact, this is a violation of tradition, and this is a real number of books forgetting ancestors.

Why?

Here we briefly mention the history of ** teaching.

Today's ** Christianity has three branches in the world, namely Catholicism, Protestantism and Orthodox Christianity.

Protestantism has its roots in the Reformation of the 16th century, and its main purpose was to prevent the Holy See from continuing to interfere in the affairs of the secular world, that is, to separate religion from the regime.

Protestantism is mainly found in the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, and the five Nordic countries, as well as the United States and Canada in the Americas, and Australia and New Zealand in Oceania.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Ukraine and Russia, let's skip it first.

Mainly talk about the relationship between Catholicism and Orthodoxy.

In 313 AD, Constantine the Great, the emperor of the Roman Empire, issued the Edict of Milan, recognizing the legitimacy of the ** religion.

At that time, there was only one representative of the ** Church, and that was the Roman Catholic Church.

This is also a means for him to consolidate his rule, and to grasp the spiritual and material things.

But in 395 AD, after the death of the Roman Emperor Theodosius, he divided the land among his two sons to inherit, and the Roman Empire** became Western Rome and Eastern Rome.

* The teaching was then divided into two.

To the west is Roman Catholicism, while to the east is the Church of Constantine.

But after all, they were all a family before, and they are still inextricably linked.

However, over time, there were huge differences between the East and the West in terms of social, political, linguistic, and cultural traditions.

The language system of the western faction is Latin, while the eastern faction is Greek.

In addition, the Roman Church in the west, which considered itself the successor of Jesus' disciple Peter, insisted that it had the primacy of the patriarchates.

However, the Church of Constantinople in the east, with the support of the Eastern Roman Emperor, competed with the Holy See for spheres of influence.

Of course, there are doctrinal differences, so I won't go into them here.

Finally, the contradictions are irreconcilable.

In 1054, they were excommunicated and officially became Catholic and Orthodox.

This period of history is also known as the "Great Church of the East and West".

The full name of the Orthodox Church is the Eastern Roman Orthodox Church, and their leader is not the Pope, but the Patriarch.

Then there was the aforementioned Reformation, where Catholicism was separated from Protestantism.

Thus, the three major branches of the ** religion were formed.

into today's landscape.

In addition to the separation, their definition of the Christmas date soon became problematic.

This is mainly a matter of calendar, when the Catholic and Orthodox churches were separated, they used the Julian calendar, also known as the Caesar calendar.

However, in 1582, the Catholic Pope Gregory XIII found that the Julian calendar was seriously inaccurate, so he deleted it for 10 days.

So, after October 4 in 1582, it was supposed to be October 5, but after he changed it, it became October 15.

The calendar he changed was also known as the Gregorian calendar.

But this is what your Catholic side changed privately, and the Orthodox Church says it has nothing to do with me?

Therefore, Christmas on the Orthodox side is still December 25 in the Julian calendar, and the corresponding Gregorian calendar time is January 7.

But now Zelensky feels that I want to get rid of the control of your Russian Orthodox Church, I want to embrace the West and completely de-Russification.

Everything is in the service of politics, even religion and history have to be sidelined.

You are an Orthodox country and go to join in the fun with other Catholics, let's talk about it, is this going against tradition and forgetting your ancestors?

But even if Zelensky does this, in the eyes of the Western world, you are still an outlier.

They still won't let you join NATO, or they won't let you join the EU.

Because in the eyes of Westerners, is there a difference between you Ukrainians and Russians?

There is no difference.

People are close to you now, but it's just to use your strength to consume Russia, so that you can be cannon fodder, don't you understand?

This is like many colonists who call other Chinese as Zhina in order to show their differences, but in fact, in the eyes of foreign masters, aren't you all the same, aren't you all Zhina?

So that's one of the interesting things, you're trying desperately to fit in, but in the eyes of others, you're just a pawn, and you're an outlier like the people you're against.

Speaking of which, we have to mention today's protagonist: the teacher.

Faculty members have countless merits, but there are three ways to sum them up:

1. He is the mentor who leads the revolutionary process, and it is he who ignites confidence in setbacks again and again, points out the direction in the darkness, and leads us from weakness to strength, from setbacks to victory.

2. He is also the mentor who leads our national spirit.

Looking back at modern times, the Chinese nation has been beaten again and again because of backwardness and humiliated again and again because of being beaten.

The national spirit has been greatly damaged, and national self-confidence has been dealt an unprecedented blow, and we have fallen to our knees.

This is also the reason why to this day, there are still so many traitors who hate the Kuomintang.

It is the teachers who have re-injected the soul of the nation, overthrown the three mountains that have pressed on the Chinese, awakened the self-esteem and self-confidence of the nation, and made us stand up completely spiritually.

3. He is also the teacher who leads us to enlightenment.

It is the instructors who have awakened countless people to pursue a lofty ideological realm, guided countless people to realize the direction of self-emancipation, and worked towards a noble person who is free from low-level interests.

These three are all important, but I think the second one is what we need the most right now.

We must have our own national self-confidence and truly stand up spiritually.

I still say that you can go to your Christmas Eve, Christmas, but please also remember that we have our own Christmas, and we love our own Christmas.

Please don't twitter, as soon as you see the three words Christmas, you will instantly climax, and insult others is love**.

I'm wondering, isn't it normal to be patriotic, how did you become a thief?
