The Orthodox churches of Jerusalem, Russia, Serbia, Georgia, Poland, Macedonia and the Greek Old Calendarists did not accept the Revised Julian calendar, and continue to celebrate Christmas on 25 December in the Julian calendar, which is 7 January in the Gregorian calendar until 2100.

Dear friend
In these days I completed a book that deals with the "Flower of the Holy Land". The book intended to serve as a "Plants of Israel" guide, in the "Christianity mirror", for Christian pilgrims. The Book included botanical aspects of the plants, along with the religious context of Christian tradition, the New Testament and Jesus in Proverbs. During the collection of materials, I was exposed to your website and found an appropriate picture of the Star of Betlehem, to the book content. I would be grateful if you allow me to use the picture in my book, of course while maintaining the credit, as required by law, in order not to violate the rights holder.
Sincerely yours,
Ami Tamir

Hi Ami,
I do not hold copyright over the picture, you should check whether it is copyrighted by someone and if not use it for your book.
Let God bless the good deed you started!
