YEREVAN. - Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates Christmas Eve on Saturday evening, Armenian News-NEWS.am reports.

During the celebration, all Armenian churches serve holy liturgy and light candles. People take the candles and the lights from churches to their homes, which symbolizes divine light and blessing of the church.

The celebration continues on Sunday as well.

For a comparison, the Orthodox Church celebrates the Christmas Eve a day after the Gregorian Church, while the Catholics celebrate it earlier, on Dec. 25.
