What is the origin of not eating anything before the first star or Russian Christmas?
This custom comes from the Gospel. Recall that when they arrived in Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph searched for refuge. And, of course, they had nothing to eat. Then they found a cave where they had taken refuge. Thus, due to childbirth, too, was before a meal. Finally, the star heralded the birth of Jesus. That's when they finally ate. By the way, after the first star there can only be special Lenten food and plenty to eat too will be later, after the Christmas liturgy.
