Serbian Christmas traditions
Serbian Christmas traditions are customs and practices of the Serbs associated with Christmas and a period encompassing it, between the third Sunday before Christmas Day and Epiphany. There are many, complex traditions connected with this period. They vary from face to face, and in many areas have been updated or watered down to suit modern living. The Serbian name for Christmas is ''Božić'' (Cyrillic: Божић, ), which is the diminutive form of the word ''bog'' ("god"), and can be translated as "young god". Christmas is celebrated for three consecutive days, starting with Christmas Day, which the Serbs call the first day of Christmas.〔Christmas Day does not fall on the same day for the Serbs as for Western Christians, although they celebrate it on the same date—25 December. This is because the Serbian Orthodox Church uses the Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian one used in the West. Since 1900, the Julian calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar, and will remain so until the year 2100. During this period, 25 December in the Julian calendar—Christmas Day for the Serbs—corresponds to 7 January of the following year in the Gregorian calendar.〕 On these days, one is to greet another person by saying "Christ is Born," which should be responded to with "Truly He is Born," or in Serbian: „''Hristos se rodi''“ – „''Vaistinu se rodi''“ .
==Christmas Eve==
The Serbian name for Christmas Eve during the day is ''Badnji dan''. After sunset it becomes ''Badnje veče''.〔For the pronunciation of Serbian terms, see the section "List of terms".〕 On this day, the family makes preparations for the oncoming celebration. The dinner on this day is festive, copious and diverse in foods, although it is prepared in accordance with the rules of fasting.
