GREEK POPULATION
CELEBRATES XMAS
Citizens Spend Day in Wor.
ship Instead of Exchanging
Usual Gifts.

The Greek population of Richmond
passed Thursday in religious worship
of the anniversary OF the birth of
Christ. as indicated by their calendar.
To the Greeks, Christmas is day
of worship, and several OF them went
to Indianapolis to attend special
Christmas services in the Greek
church. All of them are religious in
observing Christmas, whether they can
get to a church Of their countrymen
or not.
The Greeks here, although Ameri-
canized, did not bid each other a
Merry Christmas" but spoke in awed
tones OF "Hrestugena," as they spell
the Greek word meaning birth of
Christ"
The time when the Greeks present
gifts to their friends and relatives is
New Years. This is time of re-
joicing. On January Is. the day be-
tore New Years, the Greeks will start
10 observe New Years, and January
IA, which is to them January l, will
be equal to a combined American
Christmas, New Years eve and New
Years day.
