In France, Christmas is celebrated with family, gifts, and religious traditions. It is marked by family reunions, gifts for children and the poor, and Midnight Mass. While most of France celebrates on December 25th, some northern regions begin festivities on December 6th for Saint Nicholas Day. Traditional French Christmas food includes a Yule log cake and an abundant feast on Christmas Eve called Le Reveillon after midnight mass. The Christmas tree tradition originated from Alsace and trees are now decorated and placed in homes, streets, and public places. Children leave shoes by the fireplace hoping to find gifts from Pere Noel on Christmas morning.
The Nor Varagavank monastery complex is one of Armenia's outstanding medieval monuments. It is located in the Tavush region and was built between the 12th-13th centuries by the Kyurikid family. The monastery was an important religious and cultural center. It was originally called Anapat but was later renamed Nor Varagavank after the Mongol invasions destroyed another monastery called Varagavank, and its patriarch found refuge here. The complex includes several historic churches and chapels dating back to the 12th-13th centuries, including the Anapat church, the oldest structure from 1198, and the Holy Virgin church from 1224-1237.
