In The House of the Dead, Dostoevsky, the great Russian writer describes a Christmas day in a Siberian prison camp:
"It was a dingy little settlement among frozen wastelands. From the grim prison at one end of a single muddy street the convicts peered through barred windows at the small Cathedral on the hill at the other side of the town."
The prisoners saw others going to the Christmas services but it was not for them.
