Mass at Surb Echmiadzin, Armenia (July 2008)

Begining of the mass at the holy Armenian church of Echmiadzin. Surb Echmiadzin is the holy city of Armenians, home to his holiness Karekin II, head of the Armenian Apostolic Church. In 301 AD, Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as the offical state religion! Armenia is only one of two Christian countires in the region; the other being the Republic of Georgia.

Sorry if the video is a bit shakey. I video-taped a lot of the mass and I had to hold the camera very high over people's heads. LOL

The girls at church look like call girls wearing those tights blouses with their boobs and tits sticking out.

This AT CHURCH?! SIGH!!

Protestants do better for modesty than that.

@dakotagerman1 I don't know which video or which girls you are looking at but no one is dressed like a call girl here. Maybe you Protestants go to church in paper bags but Orthodox Christians don't :)

From 0:13-0:16 we see a dame wearing spaghetti straps. From 0:45 we see the aforementioned boobs and tits.

Plenty of bare shoulders and no sleeves. No headcovering on most. What women DO! wear for a headcovering looks more like a doily on a coffee table. Hardly worth the bother to even have the blankty-blank thing to wear since it defeats the purpose.

I'll take my chances with Protestantism any day.

@dakotagerman1 I just went to a Protestant church today and the guys were wearing shorts and flip flops and girls had on jeans with holes and spaghetti straps. I guess the Protestants aren't what you make them to be :( In my opinion, God isn't a fashion queen. He won't kick you out if your head scarf is as you put it, "like a doily on a coffee table"
