    Christmas still to come for Armenian and Easter Orthodox churches

    By Ron Orozco

    Christmas is coming still for some traditional Armenian and Eastern
    Orthodox congregations in Fresno.

    The congregations observe Christmas on Jan. 6 (or close to it), the
    date when all Christian churches celebrated Jesus' birth until the
    fourth century.

    Here's what the Fresno churches are planning:

    -- An Armenian Christmas Eve Holy Badarak service at 5 p.m. Sunday,
    Jan. 5, at Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church, 2226 Ventura Ave.

    After the service, parishioners will gather for the church's
    traditional Armenian Christmas Eve Dinner, featuring lentil soup, fish
    and vegetable souffle.

    Armenian Christmas Day service at the church is on Monday, featuring
    Holy Badarak at 10 a.m., confession and Holy Communion at 11:30 and
    Blessing of Water at noon.

    Details: (559) 486-1141.
