Today, January 6th, we celebrate Surb Cnund, the Holy Nativity and Theophany of our Lord Jesus Christ. In our tradition, this day marks both His birth in Bethlehem and His baptism in the Jordan River.
As we gather around the Christmas table with family and friends, we share the light of the Nativity with these timeless words: May the peace and joy of this sacred day remain with you throughout the year.
Shnorhavor Surb Cnund!
