The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Is the Gregorian calender the norm now in American orthodox churches or is the new calender the norm?

>Pic related are some old calenderists

ef97a0 No.644043

>>644042

Made a mistake I meant to say if the OLD calender was the norm.


2c0035 No.644044

New calendar is of course the norm amongst the official churches. I think they're are a few old calendarist sects but they're incredibly sketchy and unrecognized.

What's wrong with the Julian calender? I like having Christmas day on January 6th as it means you can avoid the secularism of the holiday entirely.

>>644097

There's nothing wrong with the Julian calendar. What's wrong is cutting yourself off from the Body of Christ over it.


ef97a0 No.644106

>>644100

By no means do I intend to cut myself off from the body of Christ, if the only orthodox churches nearby use the new calender I will of course attend. It's just that I would prefer to use the Julian sole for personal preference.

Churches under Moscow.


ef97a0 No.644109

>>644107

So the ROCOR is old calender. Are there any other churches?


56c5ad No.644110

>>644109

ROCOR isn't the only church under Moscow that's in America. So any Russian Orthodox Church works really.

From Orthodox Wiki:

>Although all eastern European countries had adopted the Gregorian Calendar by 1923, the Orthodox Churches located in them had not. A Revised Julian Calendar was proposed during a synod in Constantinople in May of 1923, consisting of a solar part which was and will be identical to the Gregorian calendar until the year 2800, and a lunar part that calculated Pascha astronomically at Jerusalem. No local Orthodox Church accepted the lunar part of this proposal, so almost all Orthodox Churches continue to celebrate Pascha according to the Julian Calendar (the Churches of Finland and Estonia use the Gregorian Paschalion). The solar part has only been accepted by certain Orthodox Churches, those of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Orthodox Church in America (although the OCA's Diocese of Alaska and some other parishes retain the Julian Calendar). Thus, these churches celebrate the Nativity of Christ on the same day that Western Christians do because December 25 coincides on both the Gregorian and Revised Julian Calendars (until 2800 when the Revised Julian Calendar will drop one day behind the Gregorian Calendar due to differing leap year rules).

>The Old Calendarists and the Orthodox Churches of Jerusalem, Russia, Serbia, Georgia, Poland and Ukraine continue to use the Julian Calendar for their fixed dates, thus they celebrate Nativity on December 25 on the Julian Calendar, which corresponds to January 7 on the Gregorian Calendar (until 2100, when the Julian Calendar will drift back one additional day with respect to the Gregorian Calendar).

Thanks brother that's alot of info.

So those churches using the revised Julian what does that mean? Is it just to align Christmas with the rest of Christianity?

There is a difference between using the old calendar and being "Old Calendar." Being "Old Calendar" means that particular group of people is in schism because their leaders went autistic. However, some parishes in recognized (full communion) Orthodox bodies may still use the old calendar. Mine is part of the OCA and continues to use the old Julian.


e39b4f No.644190

midwest oca here, old calendar


56c5ad No.644191

>>644113

It means nothing. It's just to align the liturgical year with the rest of Christendom and society, that's it.

Some parishes like mine use both calendars at the same time, celebrating Christmas twice (since the Russians and Ukrainians won't come for December 25th anyway).


5280fd No.644214

Greek Orthodox of America here, we just use the old calendar to figure out where Easter falls so we don't get any timeline weirdness with Passover. We use the new calendar for everything else.

Th legends say they don't even know what larping is anymore.

To this day, in the darkest nights, new converts still can hear "ortholarp" beneath the silence

I'm not a Forensic Pathologist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, and that guy at the head of the table looks like Archbishop Kallinikos of Athens of the Florinite Genuine Orthodox Church.
