“С Рождеством Христовым!” It directly translates to “With Christ’s Birth!” and is a traditional way to say Merry Christmas in Russian, emphasising the religious significance of the holiday.
For 40 days leading up to Christmas, no animal products are permitted, except for seafood. Three masses are held on the 6th of January before the Christmas Eve feast. On the day Russians enjoy a 12-course meal to represent the 12 apostles. Nice?
