CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION--Historical re-enactors dressed as Russian imperial soldiers from the French Invasion of Russia of 1812 fire a cannon during celebrations to mark the Russian Orthodox Christmas in St. Petersburg, Russia, Saturday, Jan. 7, 2012. Christmas falls on Jan. 7 for Orthodox Christians who rely on the old Julian calendar rather than the 16th-century Gregorian calendar adopted by Catholics and Protestants and commonly used in secular life around the world.
