After the introduction of the new Julian/Gregorian calendar in the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), Ukrainians are widely mixing up holiday dates. Journalist Valentina Ilyina wrote about this on Facebook, analyzing the post of Lviv resident Myron Kodlubai, in which he congratulates everyone on "Generous Eve" (which is traditionally celebrated on the eve of the New Year).
She pointed out that some who have transitioned to the new style are orienting themselves with the dates. But "there is another part of society, the one that loudly declares that now it is with the entire civilized world, and that's the one I want to illustrate now."
"Today is the Eve of Epiphany (according to the new calendar). So, a person congratulated (on Generous Eve – Ed.) and congratulated, thinking nothing of it, just within one hour, 222 reposts – that is, 222 also don't know that Basil's Day has already passed according to the new calendar. I'm not gloating, it just hurts to realize what they did to all of us," wrote Valentina Ilyina.
It should be noted that within two hours of Kodlubai's post, more than 350 people had already reposted his congratulations on Generous Eve, and this number continues to grow. In the comments, people write: "Christ is baptized – generous evening is coming to the house," "Generous Epiphany," "In the River Jordan."
A day earlier, on January 4, Myron Kodlubai congratulated everyone on the day of the memory of the Great Martyr Anastasia (according to the new calendar celebrated on December 22). His congratulations were reposted by 140 people.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that journalists in Rivne reworked the famous Christmas carol: they removed Christ but introduced machine guns.
