Christmas Day (Armenian Orthodox)

Armenian Christians celebrate Christ's birth at Epiphany,
except for Armenians in the Holy Land, who celebrate Christmas on January 19th.

Theophany (Orthodox)
Orthodox churches mark the baptism of Jesus on this day.

Epiphany Celebrates the visit of the wise men (the magi) to the infant Jesus.
In the East, where it originated, the Epiphany celebrates the baptism of Jesus
by John the Baptist in the River Jordan.
(Catholics and Episcopalians celebrate this separately: see Baptism of the Lord)
Also known as Dia de los Reyes (Three Kings Day).
