Many years to His All-Holiness.
Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

Wait, I am confused on this one... Certainly you are meaning to say that it would be a different date using the Julian Calendar ("Old Calendar") reckoning... But his All-Holiness was born in 1940, not 1933 no matter the calendar. Which got me thinking and brings up an interesting question, while ordination anniversaries and name days would be more times of celebration, would birthdays, if marked, be celebrated or noted using Julian calendar reckonings? This is something that never occured to me... Just saw on wikipedia he was noted as being among "Notable Persons Born February 29" when I went to make a blog entry for the day.

Dear SS,
In a brief answer to your question regarding how the Julian recollection would be for birthdays, I think you would need to look at the founding fathers of this country. I remember that George Washington was born on one date according to the Julian calendar, but when Britain and we as a colonial holding went over to the Gregorian calendar, days were added to the original birth dates. This may be something you may want to check into.

Will do!
I am unfamiliar with the practices in Greece - I know name days are big there like in parts of Italy, Spain, Russia, etc - but if a birthday were commemorated it would be more likely be using the Gregorian civil reckoning, the Julian reckoning, or kind of a mix?
Before today, I have never given this any thought!

C^ABA ICYCY XPUCTY !
Dear S. S.,
Sorry, my mistake I had the wrong date completely.
But today February 29 on the Gregorian is known as February 16 on the Julian. Christmas is December 25 by either tabulation even if we see it as January 7th on our wall calender.
