HAPPY ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE CELEBRATING AROUND THE WORLD TODAY

In Calais, northern France, Orthodox Christians from Eritrea and Ethiopia celebrate Christmas Day today in the Orthodox calendar.

As in previous years, these photos are courtesy of Alex Holmes organised ingredients and food preparation in the Maria Skobtsova House leading to eating and music around the camp fire. A wonderful celebration took place, and despite the forecast for heavy rain, it stayed dry, the sun briefly lighting up the camp!
