Holiday Traditions

This photo was taken of the table that represented the holiday Armenian Christmas. Armenia is  in the present day area near Turkey. This area during the Post Classical Area broke up into the smaller Byzantine empire but many places held their own previous traditions. This tradition, of a twelve day Christmas celebration, is an example of the lasting traditions of the native land of Armenia. The ancient writing and customs on this table are contrasted with modern changes such as the ipod that plays Armenian music.
