    Be thankful that as a Christian you are able to celebrate Christmas freely without any fear...there are many many Christians who fear for their lives in many countries.

      Yes . Thank God for the Muslim past of iraq , Egypt, Syria , Palestinian, for at least people of the book were given freedom to worship.

      The church in Iraq shown is in Iraqi Kurdistan. It is not in the Arabic part of Iraq where Christians are being killed and discriminated.

      1Mean_ CTS-V my great great grandpa was from Artvin. Sadly Hamshen Armenians are the only community of Armenians left in Western Armenia. Most Rize Hamshen Armenians were assimilated into becoming Turks and now speak a Turkish dialect with Armenian words. However, Hope, Artvin Hamshen Armenians still speak Armenian.

      They did tho, Punt kingdom( modern day South Sudan and Sudan) was also the first to accept Christianity. Also footage in Eritrea as well as filming is hard for a short video just like the amount of time and energy it takes to get footage from Iran or Kyrgyzstan. Also technically the first to accept Christianity as a nation was Armenia.

    • @jktomas
      @jktomas 8 років тому +3

      Did you just made that up? Because I am pretty sure no one knows for sure when Jesus was born or if such person actually existed. But apparently it is unlikely that it happened in winter because the story says there were shepphards and they don't work in winter.

    • @NaderR

      ge pretti 1923. The antiochian church and a few others also joined us in moving to the corrected date sometime around or after that time. Some Greek churches rebelled at first from the new calendar but eventually it was made official and those churches either switched or fell out of communion with us.

    • @viktoria8189
      @viktoria8189 5 років тому +1

      There are different branches. For example in my country - Belarus - there are two major branches: catholic (christmas - 25th of December) and russian orthodox (christmas - 7th of January). Both dates are state holidays and days off. It's probably different in different countries too.
