Celebrating Advent

In the Armenian Church, Advent is not a one-month preparation. Counting back from January 6, the Feast of Theophany (popularly called Armenian Christmas), the Armenian Church spends 50 days preparing for Christmas! In Armenian this is called Hisnag (Hees-nahg), which comes from the word for "fifty"or hisoon (hee-soon).
