Iranian-Armenians Observed Christmas Mass Prayer Ceremony

A clergywoman is offering warm wishes to an Iranian-Armenian woman during a Christmas mass prayer ceremony at the St. Vartan Armenian Church in central Tehran, Iran, on January 6, 2024. The Armenian Church celebrates January 6th as Christmas 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, on January 6th.
