denominations?[edit]

I had never heard of this, so I read the article with interest. I am wondering if there are any particular denominations that tend to observe this, if it's more common in newer, non-denominational churches, etc., or it's perhaps an individual congregation's decision.

Me too, a reference speaks of "The united church of Ours", whatever denomination this might be. The clarification in which liturgical calender this day is observed is essential and should be added. @Anupam:?--Medusahead (talk) 08:51, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pinging me here User:Medusahead. Several links in the External Links section attested to the observance of Blue Christmas among various Christian traditions; I have added specific references to the lede of the article to describe the Western Christian observance of Blue Christmas in Catholicism, Lutheranism, Methodism, Moravianism and Reformed Christianity. Additionally, I noticed that you removed the Advent-related photograph from the article, which I have properly restored. Blue Christmas is an Advent liturgy per reliable sources and the image is helpful in this respect. If you have any questions about this observance, or any others, please feel free to ping me again as this area is my specialty. I hope this helps.
