Christmas or Programmer's Day: On Faith, Choice, and Responsibility
January 7th for many is not just a date on the calendar, but a matter of faith and personal choice. The attempt to give this day a new meaning makes one ponder what is truly difficult for a person to live without.

In Ukraine, January 7 will officially be celebrated as Programmer's Day instead of Christmas.
Let everyone act as they wish.
As for me, on January 7, I will pray to Christ, the one who gave me life, who has pulled me out of the pit more than once.
And I will congratulate the programmers too. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Because one can live without programmers. I didn't know what a computer was in my childhood, but it's hard without God.
Glory to Him for everything.
As for the actual abolition of the Orthodox holiday, I am not surprised. It's the same as with monuments and streets.
But this is also a clear answer to all believers about whom to vote for in the elections.
Although I think people will again vote hoping to get a place near power or the trough, because times change, but human greed and meanness remain unchanged, I still hope that the fear for the fate of their children and the loss of the last will make some people think.
