Soviet Union Celebrates
Christmas Under the
| The Old Calendar Date
MOSCOW UP> — Archbishop
Alexei, Patriarch of all Russia,
celebrated the Orthodox Church’s
Christmas Saturday by officiating
at midnight mass in Moscow
Cathedral in an atmosphere of
mingled majesty and melancholy.
Most of the congregation was
made up of older persons, mostly
women. Many of them were mar
ried under the Czar more than
ist Revolution.
43 years ago before the Commu
| nist Revolution struck down the
i wealthy church and reduced it
to an almost pitiful remnant.
Other midnight masses were
celebrated in scattered city and
country churches throughout the
Soviet Union to mark Christmas
which under the Old Calendar
comes 13 days after the Western
World’s Christmas.
Thousands walked through a
fresh snowfall to crowd into Mos
cow Cathedral, ornate in gold
and white.
Archbishop Alexei, past 80 but
sturdy, stood in his golden robes
and a glistening be jeweled crown,
in the center of the cathedral.
Around him were rows of metro
politans, bishops and priests also
wearing gem-studded crowns.
Czars worshipped in this cathe
dral before the revolution and
Archbishop Alexei has come down
through the years from that early
day when the church was rich,
when its leaders spoke on even
terms with the Czar and all Rus
sians lived under is mantle.
But the years of Communist
domination has changed all that.
Dip holy water from founts to
— pass out among worshippers.
Royalty was long since gone, re
placed by about 2,000 workers
and peasants.
