A festive liturgy will be served in Armenian Apostolic churches on the morning of February 14

40 days after the Nativity, the Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates the feast of the Presentation of the Baby Jesus to the Temple, known as the Presentation of the Lord. The pre-feast is celebrated on the evening of February 13. At the end of the liturgy, according to folk custom, a bonfire is lit. The Presentation of the Lord is an invitation to everyone to go to meet the Lord, and to present a child to the church means to educate and train him spiritually. When Mary takes the 40-day-old Jesus to the temple, an old man named Simeon recognizes and meets Jesus. Hence the name of the feast: the Presentation of the Lord.
