@leeloh According to the Catholic calendar:

@Kwek00 yeah, we're orthodox, hence I said here is on the 19馃榿 they're all later than catholic

@leeloh That's strange... because I thought the Orthodox church largely shared the same calendar when it comes to saints.

According to this one... Saint Nicholas also comes on the 6th of december. 馃
I'm a bit confused and puzzled by this.

@Kwek00 No, we have most holidays the same, only not on the same dates. When the church split, one decided to keep the old calendar, and the other one went with the new, so it's basically the same holidaysx only later by a week or so.
Ex Christmas is 25 December, here is January 7

@leeloh Yeah, I know about the christmas thing...

Yeah, apperently you guys still use the julian calendar. I guess that website shows the Julian calendar then... I don't know how to check that... Because it does show the 29th of february? Which I think is where the Gregorian Calendar differs:
