@SocraticEthics I’ll bet a million #rubles or $10 💵 on the #Russian #BlackMarket , whichever is of greater value at the moment, that #Patriarchs in the #EasternOrthodox Church laughed when #CharlieHebdo ridiculed the Prophet #Muhammad and #IslamicTerrorists. Did I get that right? 🤔

Last weekend, I had the honor to #film #EasternOrthodox #Easter. I've never filmed anything like this, so regardless of your faith, you may enjoy the attempted creativity of this 9-minute video, along with a background story and cameo appearance of my wife and the little one: https://zorz.it/anesti

In 1900, Maksim Trpković revised the #JulianCalendar. Under his system, an year that yields a remainder of 0 or 400 when divided by 900 is a #LeapYear.
Milutin Milanković slightly altered this in 1923, changing the rule to years that give a remainder of 200 or 600. A mean year in this calendar is just 2 seconds off the #TropicalYear. It is used by some, but not all, #EasternOrthodox churches.

The #EasternOrthodox Churches never adopted the Gregorian calendar (except in #Finland). While Orthodox-majority countries use the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes, many still use the #JulianCalendar for religious purposes. You have probably heard about #UkrainianRefugees celebrating #Easter and #Christmas on different dates to those of #Catholics and #Protestants; this is because the Ukrainian Orthodox Church still uses the Julian Calendar (for now).
