February 14 is the eve of the Feast of Presentation on the Old Calendar. But Rusyns (I'm assuming both Eastern Catholic and Orthodox) don't exchange the "Christ is Born" greeting beyond the eve of Theophany. Is it a Ukrainian tradition to use it through the Presentation?

Don't know about that, but someone on this forum had been using "Christ is Revealed" for some period of time following the Theophany.
I like that.

" Христос Раждається! Славіте Єго!" Please explain and translate. Thank you. "Christ is born! Glorify Him!" February 14 is the eve of the Feast of Presentation on the Old Calendar. But Rusyns (I'm assuming both Eastern Catholic and Orthodox) don't exchange the "Christ is Born" greeting beyond the eve of Theophany. Is it a Ukrainian tradition to use it through the Presentation? As far as I know, yes. Don't know about that, but someone on this forum had been using "Christ is Revealed" for some period of time following the Theophany.
I like that. (May Andy Rooney's memory be eternal!) Someone on this forum pointed out a couple of years ago that it really isn't a tradition to use greetings like "Christ is baptized! In the Jordan!" or "Christ is Transfigured! On the mountain!" (borrowed from the Third Antiphon of the Post-feast). As for "Christ is revealed," I can only say I've never heard it used. Peace, Deacon Richard

We always reverted to the default greeting, Slava Isusu Christu! Glory to Jesus Christ! Slava na Viki! Glory forever! following the eve of Theophany. I've heard a few clergy try "?Christ is Baptized" but what would the the answer be? "Yes!" ??????

В річці Йордані. (In the River Jordan). I hope the Cyrillic characters showed properly. I recently had a discussion about the origin of this greeting with the priests at my parish, two of whom are from Ukraine (since 1995). I speculated we had come up with it in North America. According to them, that is the usage among both Orthodox and Greek Catholics in Ukraine. Apparently both Patriarch Sviatoslav and Patriarch Philaret use this greeting. In the Toronto Eparchy it's pretty standard over the last decade or so. After Theophany we continue to use Христос Раждається until Presentation.

"In the River Jordan" is our reply here in Pennsylvania.
Someone said the response on January 1 and January 14 to "he is circumsized" is "Ouch". Is that so?

The late Archimandrite Serge Keleher of blessed memory once playfully suggested that the correct response to "Christ is baptised" would be "splash".

I did once hear someone say, "Christ is circumcised." The response was, "In the Jordan." A bit of miscommunication there. LOL.

Best to stick with the old faves like Slava Isusu Christu! or Christos Posredi Nas! (Glory to Jesus Christ! or Christ is Among us!)
I've seen more than a few flustered faithful give the wrong response at Pascha or Chrismas to the festal greeting as well!
I still chuckle as I recall one young lady respond 'Voistinnu Jeho!

OR HOW ABOUT OUR PROTESTANT FRIEND WHO ATTENDED GREEK CATHOLIC EASTER SERVICES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND ASKED AFTERWARD WHY WE REPEATEDLY STATED: "YOUR STOVE IS SCRATCHED". WE HAD TO EXPLAIN THAT IT WAS CHRYSTOS VOSKRES.
