Best Answer

Christmas Eve, Known as Svyat Vechir, is the end of the pre-Christmas Lenten period. During this period, no animal products can be consumed (including meat, diary and eggs). The Svyat Vechir meal must include 12 dishes, all Lenten. Meat and animal product are once again allowed on Christmas Day.
