Iranian-Armenians Observed Christmas Mass Prayer Ceremony
An elderly Iranian-Armenian woman is lighting a candle and praying at the St. Vartan Armenian Church in central Tehran while attending 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 are believed to have occurred on the same day, 33 years apart.
