Did you know the Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates Christmas on January 6th because it preserves the original date of Christmas in the Christian world? This is because early Christians commemorated both the birth and baptism of Christ. December 25th was later chosen by the Western Church to coincide with a pagan festival, blending Christian and local traditions. By keeping January 6th, Armenians honor an ancient and unaltered tradition.
Wishing everyone a meaningful and joyful Christmas! May you celebrate the Good News with loved ones, surrounded by peace and blessings.
