Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord : ウィキペディア英語版
Feast of the Circumcision of Christ

The Feast of the Circumcision of Christ is a Christian celebration of the circumcision of Jesus in accordance with Jewish tradition, eight days (according to the Semitic and southern European calculation of intervals of days)〔In the northern European calculation, which abstracts from the day from which the count begins, the interval was of seven days.〕 after his birth, the occasion on which the child was formally given his name.〔 (King James Version): "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb."〕〔(Catholic Encyclopedia: ''Feast of the Circumcision'' )〕
The circumcision took place, not in the Temple, though painters sometimes so represent it, but in the home.〔
The circumcision of Jesus has traditionally been seen, as explained in the popular 14th-century work the ''Golden Legend'', as the first time the blood of Christ was shed, and thus the beginning of the process of the redemption of man, and a demonstration that Christ was fully human, and of his obedience to Biblical law.
The feast day appears on 1 January in the liturgical calendar of the Eastern Orthodox Church.〔(Greek Orthodox Archdiocese calendar of Holy Days )〕 In the General Roman Calendar, the 1 January feast, which from 1568 to 1960 was called "The Circumcision of the Lord and the Octave of the Nativity", is now named the solemnity of Mary the Holy Mother of God and the Octave Day of the Nativity of the Lord. It is celebrated by some churches of the Anglican Communion and virtually all Lutheran churches.
==Eastern Orthodox Church==
The feast is celebrated with an All-Night Vigil, beginning the evening of December 31. The hymns of the feast are combined with those for Saint Basil the Great. After the Divine Liturgy the next morning, Russian Orthodox churches often celebrate a New Year Molieben (service of intercession) to pray for God's blessing for the beginning of the civil New Year (Orthodox commemorate the Indiction, or Ecclesiastical New Year, on September 1).
On the Julian calendar, 1 January will correspond, until 2100, to 14 January on the Gregorian Calendar.〔(Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarchate of Moscow )〕 Accordingly, in Russia, 14 January in the civil calendar is known as "The Old New Year", since it corresponds to 1 January in the Julian Calendar, still used by the Church.
