Open Celebration

Mass in church marks Armenian Christmas

January 5th, 2008 by anush

On the evening of 5 January each year a special mass is conducted in Armenian churches to mark Christmas.

Lots of visitors are here on this day. Most of them come not to hear the mass but to light a candle and take it home, which is the tradition.

The real meaning of taking a light home, which is having it in your heart and taking it home, comes true after staying here for a couple of hours.
