President Vladimir Putin attended the Orthodox Christmas service at the Church of St. George the Victorious in Moscow on January 7, 2025. This event marks a significant occasion in the Russian Orthodox calendar, celebrated according to the Julian calendar.
Patriarch Kirill emphasised Russia’s distinct development path during the service and criticized Western nations for their perceived moral decay. Putin’s attendance highlights his ongoing relationship with the church, which he has sought to bolster amid Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. Before the service, the president also visited veterans from the Ukraine conflict at the Poklonnaya Hill war memorial.
