Celebrations for the Russian New Year in Cyprus
January 9, 2020
Most of us may have been enjoying 2020 for the past eight days but those following the old calendar, Russia included, celebrate it a little later than the rest of the world. Russians have two New Years, one on January 1 and the other on January 14, based on the Orthodox Calendar. Two events are taking place in Paphos and Nicosia to celebrate this Old New Year with the Russians.
Organised by the Russian Cultural Centre, two festive concerts are scheduled with music and dance by the ensemble of the Nizhny Novgorod Provincial Orchestra. The concerts will be held within the framework of the international project Russian Theatre Seasons in Cyprus.
