well thats just not right but thats a whole other conversation :sThey aren't religious. Especially not Christians. I celebrate Christmas but none of my family is Christian - it's just a nice little day where we all get together as a family and celebrate.
Ida (Ida's Dance) celebrated a fictional holiday "Saint Grotus' Day" and appears to be Croatian - so Lois' family is not Christian.
Lois' family is Orthodox, probably Russian Orthodox. the names, the accents, mentioning the cossacks, that picture of her husband when Francis went to visit her in Whitehorse, and orthodoxy is close to roman catholic, which is why many people think thats what they are. :yes:
