In ancient Armenia, the holiday was associated with the worship of Vahagn &#8211; the god of fire, sun, war and courage. Though the celebration\u2019s roots are in Armenian pagan tradition nevertheless it became one of the religious holidays. In the tradition of the Church, the celebration is officially named \u201cTiarn\u2019ndaraj\u201d or Candlemas, and symbolizes the presentation of the 40 day-old Christ Child to the Temple in Jerusalem. According to the Armenian Apostolic Church, it is celebrated 40 days after Jesus&#8217; birth. Since the Church celebrates Christmas on Jan. 6, that means Tiarn&#8217;ndaraj or Trndez is always officially celebrated on Feb. 14.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2id9o6h-e6153ae5938ef8fb75802d0b5f0abdcd\">\n#top .hr.av-2id9o6h-e6153ae5938ef8fb75802d0b5f0abdcd{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-2id9o6h-e6153ae5938ef8fb75802d0b5f0abdcd .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#595959;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-2id9o6h-e6153ae5938ef8fb75802d0b5f0abdcd .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#595959;\n}\n.hr.av-2id9o6h-e6153ae5938ef8fb75802d0b5f0abdcd .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#595959;\nstroke:#595959;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2id9o6h-e6153ae5938ef8fb75802d0b5f0abdcd hr-custom  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #993300;\">Saint Sargis day<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lovers all over the world celebrate the St. Valentine\u2019s day, meanwhile in Armenia people in love have a holiday devoted to their patron St. Sargis.

During this holiday drinking a lot of wine is a must. In February the wine which was made in the autumn becomes especially tasty. It raises the mood for fun and warms in cold weather. And while during the Lent, for 48 days, Armenians refuse to eat meat and drink wine, Barekendan is their \u201clast chance\u201d to have as much fun as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a unique holiday because people make a special doll for it called \u201cAklatiz\u201d. It is a man-shape doll, which holds stones or chilli peppers in his hand and people believe that in case of breaking the rules of the Lent, Aklatiz will punish them. It also has seven feathers hanging from its feet. The number of those feathers symbolize the seven weeks of the Lent. Every week starting from the day of Barekendan people remove a feather and count the weeks till the end of the Lent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1ov02nd-935fa513059ac42976565ee4b3cf2e02\">\n#top .hr.av-1ov02nd-935fa513059ac42976565ee4b3cf2e02{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-1ov02nd-935fa513059ac42976565ee4b3cf2e02 .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#595959;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-1ov02nd-935fa513059ac42976565ee4b3cf2e02 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#595959;\n}\n.hr.av-1ov02nd-935fa513059ac42976565ee4b3cf2e02 .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#595959;\nstroke:#595959;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1ov02nd-935fa513059ac42976565ee4b3cf2e02 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #993300;\">1st of June <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The day of protection of children\u2019s rights-It was first proclaimed by the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in 1925 and then established universally in 1954 to protect children working long hours in dangerous circumstances and allow all children access to education.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42104\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/june1.myyerevan.am_.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42104\" class=\"wp-image-42104 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/june1.myyerevan.am_.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\" Armenian National holidays\/ 1st of June\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/june1.myyerevan.am_.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/june1.myyerevan.am_.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/june1.myyerevan.am_.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/june1.myyerevan.am_.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/june1.myyerevan.am_.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/june1.myyerevan.am_.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-42104\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1st of June \/ photo from myyerevan.am<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Republic of Armenia June 1 is a real festivity for children arranged by the cultural and entertainment organizations.

And the grape blessing day was also connected with her as it was a big ritual before which it was not allowed to eat grapes and make wine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As all the pagan holidays were transformed into Christian holidays this one was not an exception. According to Armenian Apostolic Church there are seven days dedicated to Holy Mary and this is the oldest one. By the way even in the places of the temples dedicated to Anahit new churches named after Holy Mary were built. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42107\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/khaghogh-Karen-Harutyunyan.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42107\" class=\"wp-image-42107 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/khaghogh-Karen-Harutyunyan.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Armenian National Holidays \/ Grape blessing\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/khaghogh-Karen-Harutyunyan.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/khaghogh-Karen-Harutyunyan.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/khaghogh-Karen-Harutyunyan.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/khaghogh-Karen-Harutyunyan.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/khaghogh-Karen-Harutyunyan.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/khaghogh-Karen-Harutyunyan.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-42107\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grape blessing day \/ photo by Karen Harutyunyan<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays it is celebrated from 12-18 of August and after the Church service the priest blesses the harvest and the grapes.

Firstly, they are reminding us of our past and are important for keeping traditions for our future generations. Secondly, each of those holidays has its meaning, purpose and typical songs and dances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People started to create holidays since ancient times dedicated to mainly nature- sun, fire, water, birds and animals, natural disasters and so on. Some of the holidays are unfortunately changed or completely lost during the time but all of them are tightly connected with the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact all Armenian national holidays have the power of bringing people together so it can become a great experience for everyone to take part in these holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<div  class='hr av-ox6zyh-ba7c7f48cff4ec8a3cd46970ba36d03a hr-default  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><em>The copyright of this article is owned by armgeo.am.
