A baptism ceremony will be held in renovated Surb Khach Armenian church on Akhtamar Island in Turkey.

The baptism ceremony will be conducted during an annual Divine Liturgy on September 8, Hurriyet Daily News reported quoting Agos daily.

The first ceremony after a 95-year break was held in the Armenian church on September 11, 2010. The ceremony brought many tourists to Turkey’s Van province which resulted in Turkish authorities’ decision to continue with the upkeep and the expanding of the lighting grid at Akhtamar Island of Van Province.
