Orthodox Christmas Eve

Today is the Orthodox Christmas Eve.  I was invited to go to The Old Orthodox Church which was built in the 16th century.  Their tradition is to build a small pyre of branches and then light it on fire.  I am told this is supposed to bring good luck in the new year.  There was also a small manger with a sheep and a few baby lambs.
