    FIRST BAPTISM CEREMONY AT SURB KHACH ON AKHTAMAR ISLAND

    August 28, 2013 | 05:47

    A baptism ceremony will be held in renovated Surb Khach Armenian
    church on Akhtamar Island in Turkey.

    The baptism ceremony will be conducted during an annual Divine Liturgy
    on September 8, Hurriyet Daily News reported quoting Agos daily.

    The first ceremony after a 95-year break was held in the Armenian
    church on September 11, 2010. The ceremony brought many tourists to
    Turkey's Van province which resulted in Turkish authorities' decision
    to continue with the upkeep and the expanding of the lighting grid
    at Akhtamar Island of Van Province.
