Orthodox Christmas, celebrated on January 7, is a sacred and deeply meaningful holiday observed by millions of faithful families around the world. Rooted in centuries-old tradition and guided by the Julian calendar, this holy day reflects spiritual preparation, reverence, and the joy of Christ’s Nativity as honored within the Orthodox Church.

At G. DeBrekht Artistic Studio, Orthodox Christmas is more than a date on the calendar—it is a source of inspiration that shapes our most cherished collections of handcrafted décor and ornaments.

The Meaning Behind Orthodox Christmas Traditions

Orthodox Christmas follows a period of fasting, prayer, and reflection, culminating in a celebration centered on the Nativity of Christ. Homes and churches are adorned not simply for beauty, but as visual expressions of faith. Iconography, Nativity scenes, and symbolic ornaments play a central role in creating a spiritual atmosphere filled with peace and devotion.

Our collections are thoughtfully designed to honor these traditions while bringing warmth and artistry into modern homes.

The Nativity holds a profound place in Orthodox Christianity. Our Nativity Holiday Decor reflects classical Orthodox iconography—rich colors, sacred symbolism, and reverent compositions inspired by traditional icons.

• Handcrafted wooden Nativity plaques and door hangers

• Indoor and outdoor Nativity décor suitable for home, church, or prayer spaces

• Designs that echo Byzantine and Eastern Christian artistic traditions

Each piece is created in our California studio, from original artwork to final finishing, ensuring authenticity and craftsmanship in every detail.
