In pictures: Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas

Orthodox Christians around the world have been celebrating Christmas by attending church services.

While the majority of the Christian world celebrate Christmas Day on 25 December, for many of the world’s 200 million Orthodox Christians, the birth of Jesus Christ is marked on 7 January.

This is because they follow the Julian calendar, unlike Christian denominations which follow the Gregorian calendar.
