A winter moment from Yerevan, 1966

A bright winter day in Yerevan, 1966 — cameras were few, film was expensive, and every picture was taken with care. That’s why this simple scene feels so precious today. Yerevan’s Christmas tree standing under the winter sun in 1966 captures a quiet, real moment of the city’s past.

You can almost feel the calm of the day: families walking by, children stopping to look up at the decorations, and the city enjoying a gentle holiday mood. No filters, no smartphones — just a pure snapshot of life, celebration, and warmth.

A small piece of Yerevan’s history, frozen in daylight, reminding us how beautiful the simplest moments used to be.
