Putin attends Orthodox Christmas service by himself in Kremlin (Reuters)

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday attended an Orthodox Church Christmas service by himself inside a Kremlin cathedral rather than joining other worshippers in a public celebration.

Russia’s RIA news agency said it was the first time in years that Putin had marked Christmas in Moscow rather than in the region around the capital.

State television showed two live clips of Putin inside the gilded Cathedral of the Annunciation as Orthodox priests conducted the midnight service, known as the Divine Liturgy.

Many Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on Jan. 6-7.

Putin, wearing a blue jacket and a high-necked white sweater, was the sole worshipper and crossed himself several times before television coverage cut away to a public service in Moscow’s Christ the Saviour Cathedral.

Cramming for the finals, perhaps.

1. I am reminded of the WC Fields quote, someone saw him reading the Bible late in his life

They asked him if he was a believer now, he said no he was “checking for loopholes”

2. He has terminal cancer.

So if there's a God, Putie has a lot of explaining to do.
