(like Orthodox Churches in Russia, Ethiopia and other countries) use the old "Julian" calendar for
their holiday.

fabrics and costumes to celebrate Christmas. Some people carry Georgian fags, while others may be
dressed like people from the Christmas story. Children love to take part in Alilo, as they are of the giien

Carols sing, and they are tired all over the country. Many of the songs and carols are sung during Alilo
Include these words: "ოცდახუთსა დეკემბერსა, ქრისტე იშვა ბეთლემსაო '" (otsdakhutsa
dekembersa qriste ishia betlemsao) which means "December 25, Christ was born in Bethlehem".
