The picture was taken in a country that will get phantom22 very excited.

I kind of cheated on this, sorry.

Add my name to Armenak's cheat list as well.

I also thought that it is taken in Jerusalem. Looks like the interior of St. James, no?

[phantom22]

The interior of St. James was too dark for me to see and the insense made me think back to my hipppie days in the late 60s.

Armenak, you gave away the answer.

Which answer?
By the way, the word is "incense" for khung.

Judging by the presence of the Russian Patriarch and Rasputin , and the blonde women , my guess would be, some where in Russia.
Moscow??

[kakachik77]

nice observation Arpa

I would add that even the interior of the church might be orthodox russian as opposed to armenian. It's some sort of a church choir, definately Russian Armenian (meaning Eastern Armenian). Can be anywhere from Gyumri, Tiflis, Rostov on Don, Crimea or anyother place Armenians settled in the Russian Empire.

Arpa since you mentioned Rasputin, what came to mind for some reason was "JermuK". Huisov em for Hayastani saninspectiony nakharare ankordz e! Shun-shan vortiner!

Looks like one of the Serpazans up front might have a bladder control problem.

The picture is most probably from Balkans, Bulgaria?
the dark hair young men looks like Andranik
Armenian eastern orthodox/apostolic Priest, western Greek orthodox priest, Late 890's-early 1900's picture
Most are Armenians, my guess is Khrimian Hayrig?

I don't think so. That's not his face.

Edward, the woman's dress upfront comes down to her knees only...women started wearing shorter dresses in the West in 1920s, I personally think this is 30s.

Could this be in Smirna? Perhaps it's Tourian's picture when he was an Archbishop in Smirna (Izmir) before he came to the Americas? And if that's the case then this picture is before September 1922; because that's when the turks annihilated practically all of Smirna's Armenians.

Then this picture is a bit before 1922, if my prediction is correct.

The proof is in the picture, looking at you!!!!!!!

Boghos; what would the prize be if one of us is right?
