Google Trends: 19 Jan "Theophany" – the most popular search query on the Net
Ukrainians actively congratulate each other on Theophany.
On January 18th and 19th, the most popular search query on the Internet was "Happy Theophany", according to the Google Trends service. This number exceeded 50,000. Similar queries are also popular: “Happy Theophany”, “Theophany 2024”, “Theophany”, “Theophany Eve”, “19 January feast”, and “Theophany”.
Meanwhile, on 6-7 January (6 January is Theophany according to the new style), the query "Theophany" was not among the leaders. The query "Хрещення" (Ukr) ("Theophany") was in 12th place with a number around 2,000. Instead, words like "Christmas", “Nativity of Christ”, "A new joy has come", etc., were far ahead.
As a reminder, in 2024 only the UOC celebrates Theophany on January 19, according to the Julian calendar. The OCU and UGCC celebrated it on January 6.
As reported, the Internet showed how “news-style” Ukrainians are confused about the dates of holidays.
