I was corrected on the Greek observance of Christmas.  I substituted
"Greek" for "Eastern" in my brain when I wrote the original post.

Most of Greek (not Eastern) Orthodoxy changed to 25 December for Christmas
in 1923 except for the monasteries around Mt. Athos.  Eastern Orthodoxy
holds to Jan 6 and Ephiphany on Jan 19.

I neglected to mention what this has nothing to do with the Atmarian
calendar.
