Thursday, October 5, 2023
Instead of the world-famous Valentine’s Day, Armenian’s have their own holiday to celebrate love. There is no exact day on which to celebrate St. Sargis, as it changes from year to year.
However, to make an approximate calculation, it’s good to know that the day is marked 63 days before Easter, on a Saturday between January and February.
This holiday is mostly praised by young people who believe that St. Sargis can create their destiny. Young, single women eat very salty cookies before going to bed to sleep. No matter how thirsty they get, they are not supposed to drink water. According to the traditional belief, the young man who gives them water will be their future husband.
