Yervant1 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 International Business TimesJan 5 2016When Is Armenian Christmas 2016? Jesus' Birth Celebrated ThroughWorship, Decorations And FeastsBy Michael KaplanMost people think of Christmas as falling on Dec. 25. And while that'strue for most of the world's Christians, Armenians typicallycommemorate the day on Jan. 6. While in many ways the holiday iscelebrated similarly to how it's celebrated by Christians elsewherearound the world, there are also some differences.Armenians usually clean their homes before Christmas, and decorate aChristmas tree with fruit, white doves and golden bows. Tradition isto use the colors of the Armenian flag ` red, orange and blue ` whendecorating the tree. Family and friends exchange gifts after a largemeal on Christmas Eve, and afterward, tradition has it that childrenclimb on the rooftops and sing carols.Armenians typically abstain from eating meat during the week leadingup to the holiday, and on Christmas Eve, they feast on a traditionalfish and rice dish, according to Why Christmas. Desserts include driedfruits, nuts and distinctly Armenian dishes. Children often takepresents like fruits, nuts and sweets to older relatives, and in theArmenian capital of Yerevan, a big Christmas tree is usually put up inthe Republic Square. Some visit Bethlehem, the city of Jesus' birth,during the holiday.In the Armenian tradition Santa Claus isn't associated with Christmasbut rather with New Year's Eve, Dec. 31. Christmas is usually thoughtof as a day for religious devotion.The Roman Catholic Church established Dec. 25 as Christmas in thefourth century, but Armenians kept to an older date, according tovarious sources. Armenians commemorate Jesus' baptism through aceremony wherein a priest uses a basil leaf to sprinkle water overworshipers. The tradition is called `Blessings of the Water.' Manyalso celebrate the `epiphany' ` the moment it was revealed that Jesuswas the son of God.The Armenian Apostolic Church represents millions of ArmenianChristians worldwide.
