Do Armenia celebrates Christmas

Answer 1

Armenians celebrate Christmas on the 6th of January.There was an ancient pagan feast day which was a problem, because since most were Christians at that time, paganism (the worship of Sun, Moon, Fire, idols etc…) was fading out except for this one festival dedicated to light which was called the Festival of Lights. People could not forget about this festival, so they moved the birth of Christ to December 25th so that the people would start to forget about that pagan feast day. And so it was… however back in Armenia, this problem did not exist since Armenians had done away with paganism back in the year 301A.D. when Armenia became the first Christian Nation.So, Armenians celebrate Christmas, Theophany (the Revelation of God) - since when He was baptized in the River Jordan, the heavens opened up and God's voice said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." (Matt. 3:17) ), and the Baptism of Christ on the 6th of January.
