IBNA- Emilia Nercissians, assistant professor of Anthropology at
Tehran University says that written sources addressing Christian and
Armenian celebrations are limited and most of the books written in
Armenian and are not yet translated into Persian.
In an interview with IBNA, Dr. Nercissians, an Iranian-Aremenian
linguist and anthropologist, says there are not sufficient written
sources relevant to Christianity and the feasts celebrated by our
Armenian citizens in Iran.
She believes that this issue has not been much addressed and many
people do not even know the difference between the Armenians and
the Christians.
Referring to books written about Christian and Armenian celebrations
she said: "There are written sources in Armenian which are not
translated into Persian. Heranoush Kharratiyan is an Armenian scholar
who has worked on Armenian celebrations and special occasions, and
I personally have used her books.
She referred to the juniper or pine tree decorated on Christmas
occasion and said it is not an imported value and that pictures of
junipers exist in Persepolis. Tree of life is known among all Asian
peoples and it resembles the juniper, and this symbolic tree is not
only found in Persepolis, it also belonged to the period before the
era of the Achaemenids.
