Most people in Belarus and Eastern Europe celebrate Christmas on January 7th (Greek Orthodox Christmas). On January 7th, 2026, Christmas in the Eastern Orthodox tradition in Belarus, our HIS+DOM team prepared 1,500 gifts for orphans and caregivers at 8 orphanages and 30 Christian group homes. Each year, HIS+DOM traditionally invites 27 foster children from a Christian group home near Minsk to help assemble HIS+XMAS gift boxes. Prior to inviting children from group homes to assist with HIS+XMAS gifts, we visit their residences to present gifts to both the children and their foster parents as a gesture of goodwill.
