Xurome [Khurome] (хъуромэ) is an ancient pre-Christian festival that was transformed and adapted into Christmas when the Kabardians converted to Christianity in the Middle Ages.

The Orthodox Christian Kabardians of Mozdok (Kabarda Minor) still chant “Xurome” as a Christmas carol/prayer. They celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January every year.
