Moldovan PM congratulates citizens on Birth of Lord

Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu sent a congratulatory message to citizens who are celebrating the Nativity of the Lord today.

On a social media platform, the official wrote “Merry Christmas!”. The message was accompanied by a symbolic image capturing the beautiful Christmas tradition of caroling, when children go from house to house, wishing hosts health, abundance and happiness in the year to come.

Old-style Orthodox Christians today are marking the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas), one of the 12 major feasts of the Lord or Imperial feasts, preceded by a 40-day fast. On this occasion, religious services are being held in holy places across Moldova.

Old Calendar Christmas, according to the Julian calendar, is celebrated on January 7. Believers who follow the Gregorian calendar marked Christmas on December 25.

In order to give everyone the opportunity to celebrate with their families, the authorities have ruled to declare official public holidays on December 25, January 7 and January 8.
