Well, Orthodox Church does use the Julian calendar. In Russia the calendar was switched over only after the the coup in 1917. The official church however refused to adopt it. So you can probably say that the Three Kings Day is somewhat connected to the old calendar, however people in the countries Max mentioned celebrate Christmas on this day and not the Three Kings Day. -- All the best, Peter Gannushkin URL: http://downtownmusic.net/ ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
