Iranian-Armenians Observed Christmas Mass Prayer Ceremony

An Iranian-Armenian woman is kissing a sanctified cross after 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. The celebration combines the birth of Christ and his baptism, which is believed to have occurred 33 years later on the same date. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
