Iranian-Armenians Observed Christmas Mass Prayer Ceremony

Iranian-Armenian clergywomen are sitting together at the St. Vartan Armenian Church in central Tehran, preparing to take part in a Christmas mass prayer ceremony on January 6, 2024. The Armenian Church celebrates Christmas on January 6th because Armenia, the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion in 301 AD, commemorates the birth of Christ and his baptism, which is believed to have occurred 33 years later on the same day.
