Iranian-Armenians Observed Christmas Mass Prayer Ceremony
Iranian-Armenian clergywomen are preparing to observe a Christmas mass prayer ceremony at the St. Vartan Armenian Church in central Tehran, on January 6, 2024. The Armenian Church celebrates January 6th as Christmas because Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion in 301 AD. They commemorate the birth of Christ and his baptism, which is believed to have occurred 33 years later on the same date, on January 6th. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
