LIVE: Orthodox Christmas mass held in Bethlehem

Ruptly is live from Bethlehem on Thursday, January 6, as Orthodox Christians attend the Christmas Midnight Mass at the Church of Nativity. While much of Europe changed to the Gregorian calendar in 1752, Orthodox communities still follow the ’Old Christmas Day’ of the Julian calendar - which places Jesus birthday on January 7. #OrthodoxChristmas #Bethlehem
