| VARDAVAR IN ARMENIA |
One of the most magnificent summer feasts in Armenia is called "Vardavar".
It is a nature- worshipping feast germinated in far-away millenniums.
In pagan Armenia this holiday was dedicated to Astghik: the goddess of
love and beauty, who would spread love around, along with roses and rose
water. After adopting Christianity the Armenian church replaced this
feast with the Transfiguration feast. You are welcome to take part in
this "Festival of Roses", which is accompanied with joyful
songs, dances and water-sprinkling games. |
