Magnitskiy, Chuvash people used to celebrate it at the end of December, on the third Friday after Saint Nicholas Day (December 6). South Chuvash people still differentiate between Russian Christmas and Surhuri. Like North Chuvash, Cheremis people celebrate it on Friday before or after Russian Christmas.
