Ukrainian here, but should apply to other eastern european countries. It's all Christian but all sideways sorta. Christmas is after New Years for most people (well "most" is like half), but people don't care as much since new years exists and is when presents are given. Advent calendars are usually, in fact, 30 day. Made in China of course.
This post is the second ever reference to advent candles I can recall having in my entire life. The first one was a YouTube short I saw portraying German stereotypes.
Please forgive my ignorance, are Ukrainian christians predominantly roman or orthodox Catholics?
Because as far as I am aware, all roman Catholics following the Pope in the Vatican celebrate either on the 24th or 25th.
Eastern orthodox Christianity pretty sure but Catholicism is a separate thing here from what people usually refer to as "Christianity"
