Iranian-Armenians Observed Christmas Mass Prayer Ceremony
An Iranian-Armenian clergyman is walking past Christmas decorations at the St. Vartan Armenian Church in central Tehran, on January 6, 2024, before a Christmas mass prayer ceremony. The Armenian Church has a reason for observing January 6th as Christmas. Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion, doing so in 301 AD. The celebration of the birth of Christ and his baptism, which is believed to have occurred 33 years after his birth and on the same day, is being celebrated on January 6th.
