How we celebrate Christmas!

  Historically the Armenian Church celebrates the holy birth of Jesus Christ on January 6. Many countries also celebrated it and there are some Elements common to many nations include the installing and lighting of Christmas trees, delicious meals and so on. Each Armenian Christian goes to church and pray for our God Jesus Christ.

 Christmas in the Armenian tradition is a purely religious affair. Armenians celebrate Christmas as a public holiday in Armenia. Christmas Eve is particularly rich in traditions. Families gather for the Christmas Eve dinner which generally consists of rice, fish, dried fruits and nuts etc. Children take presents of fruits, nuts, and other candies to older relatives. Santa Claus does not visit the nice Armenian children on Christmas, but rather on New Year's Eve. The idea of Santa Claus is for European or American children. In Armenia he goes by the more popular name of Grandfather Winter.

  I wish everyone nice holidays and should all your dreams come true this Christmas.​
