New York city has a considerable
population of Greeks. Russian*, Ar
menians, Syrians, Servians. Rotes, RnJ.
garians. Montenegrins and Vlaths,
of whom observe the Juliacic Christ
inas. 1' r forty days prior to Jan. 7
they observe a fast, eating no meat,
neither beast, hsb nor fowl. They eat
fish eggs or oil' iare. but draw- the line
there Their principal diet for the for
ty days’ fasting is made up of olives,
beans, eavlnre bread and crackers.
But at t» o’clock on the morning of
Christinas day, .Ian. 7, the Julianist
fast is over. It is not necessary to
hint that these people count the days
till Christmas or that they rejoice and
are exceeding glad w hen the annlver
sary arrives. These fa. ts are obvlons.
Christmas means for them a glorious
feast, a square meal, several squat*
meals—In fact, a round of square meals.
Our Julianist friends go to church
early on their Christinas morning, but
not too early. They eat breakfast
first. High mass is celebrated in the
Creek Orthodox church at 8 o’clock
The forty days’ fast having ended two
hours before, the Juliautsts are joy
fully full of the good things of this
world tiefore they elite the house of
worship. The chief viand, so fur as
its symI cl|e character goes, is a
spiced loaf <.f rye bread covered and
tilled with walnuts, with a cross cat
on top. This is called the chrisfojv
soma "bread of the Chi'i-t" But it
is not to lie doubted that beefsteaks,

Christmas, his craving for a meat diet
being too strong to resi--t. This weak
brother is ignored bv ihe faithful.
It Is in the cafes In the section* of
the city where the Juliunlsts dwell
that this Christmas day is celebrated
with til-- UK >t visible gusto. The Creek
“young bloods" gather in the little res
taurants and sit long over tallies heavy
with edibles and light with wines.
