Iranian-Armenians Observed Christmas Mass Prayer Ceremony
An elderly Iranian-Armenian woman is sitting at the St. Vartan Armenian Church in central Tehran, attending a Christmas mass prayer ceremony on January 6, 2024. The Armenian Church celebrates January 6th as Christmas because Armenia, the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion in 301 AD, commemorates the birth of Christ and his baptism, believed to have occurred 33 years later on the same day, on January 6th.
