Women light candles during the Christmas service in a church of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine in Kyiv on December 25, 2022, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. - Church bells and Kyivan chanting rang throughout Ukraine's capital as Orthodox Christians attended Christmas services on December 25, 2022, a defiant break from Russian spiritual leaders who will mark the holiday in two weeks. The decision by some Ukrainian churches to observe Christmas on December 25 and not January 7, as is customary in Orthodox Christianity, highlights the rift between religious leaders in Kyiv and Moscow that has deepened with the ongoing war.
