Место проведения։ Армения
Ответственный: Правительственная комиссия

Вардавар – один из пяти главных праздников Армянской Апостольской Церкви. Праздник имеет тысячелетнюю историю. Это один из самых любимых праздников нашего народа, посвященный богине любви и красоты Астхик. В эти дни армяне розами украшали статую богини Астхик, храмы, посвященные ей, дарили друг другу розы и брызгали друг на друга воду. Последняя традиция сохранилась по сей день.

Сегодня праздник отмечается спустя 98 дней после Святой Пасхи: в интервале от 28 июня по 1 августа. Христианское учение интерпретирует праздник как Преображение Христово, как символ очищенного, обоготворенного человека. Как день освящения винограда считается днем первой дегустации винограда, так и Вардавар считается днем первой дегустации яблока.  Вы можете совместить участие на Вардаваре с посещением достопримечательностей Армении в рамках пакета “Тур в Армению на выходные”.
