Each of the subcategories here has a parent category of 27 December XXXX. How do can we better acknowledge that some Christian churches celebrate in January? -- Themightyquill (talk) 05:58, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify: I don't know of any churches that celebrate Christmas in January, there are just churches that use a different calendar. This is actually a systemic problem. —Justin (koavf)TCM 07:31, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Point taken, but other categories use the Gregorian calendar for events, even if the organizers don't. Similarly, Category:Passover by year and Category:Sukkot by year don't use the Hebrew year. -- Themightyquill (talk) 08:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hm. This brings up a really tricky subject. We can just use two categories: both December 25 [year] and January 7 [subsequent year], but some churches hold it on January 6 and January 19, evidently. :/ —Justin (koavf)TCM 19:51, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
