I was hoping for pre 1860s

Based @Nemets that should work

But Christmas!

January

@Freiheit - CA Are you seriously doing a Cyrillic banner?

I'm brainstorming.

please don't do this lmao

Need a proposal

Make the banner read "Send Udmurt GF"

Why not identity Russia?

European Roots, Russian Colony

Better @Nemets but Christmas!

What is culturally better than "merry Christmas"

For our Slav qt3.14s

с новым годом

Orthodox Christmas is on another day, no?

yes but I don't know if most Russians in the US are Orthodox

most of the East Slavs I grew up around were Protestant

January 7th

Many whites don't do Christmas, we still have something planned

White Americans?

I don't believe you

Hmmmm...okay

@Freiheit - CA wanna discuss this in voice? my hands are cold lol

hard to type

Got this old book...entertaining the history inside

Ok

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN technically speaking, it’s only “Eastern Orthodox” that celebrates Christmas on January 7th. In other words, many western don’t...and others celebrate both days

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL Interesting, thank you.

It’s really weird. I go to two different sectarian churches of Orthodoxy, and Even I don’t fully understand it lol

It is quite an intimidating subject for me, a lapsed Methodist Okie

I barely understand it at all

All good ☺️

Shouldn't the Natives be dancing around a fire, not praising Jesus?

I'm not even being mean...

(being Pagan myself)

@Asatru Artist - MD "great spirit" gets interpreted

ugh. ill stop before i break a rule...

I just wish their people would all practice their own native religion.
