In the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Feast, called "The Coming of the Son of God into the Temple" ("Tiarn'ndaraj", from "Tyarn-", "the Lord", and "-undarach" "going forward"), is celebrated on 14 February. The Armenians do not celebrate the Nativity on 25 December, but on 6 January, and thus their date of the feast is 40 days after that: 14 February. The night before the feast, Armenians traditionally light candles during an evening church service, carrying the flame out into the darkness (symbolically bringing light into the void) and either take it home to light lamps or light a bonfire in the church courtyard.
