The opening of the celebration takes place in village Oshakan, near the monument\u00a0devoted to Armenian alphabet. This year we celebrate the \u201cTranslators\u2019 Day\u201d on October 8. The invention of the alphabet in 405 became the token of preservation of Armenian identity as language and literature\u00a0saved Armenians from estrangement. Here is how the Armenian letters were born. Mesrop Mashtots perceived the danger that thundered over the preservation of state unity. The solution to this problem<br \/>\nbecame revelation of alphabet. Was it a dream or a phantom, nobody knows; Mashtots saw a hand writing characters while praying. After opening first educational institutes in Armenia, Mashtots began translating the Bible into Armenian to create Armenian Christian literature. He translated it so\u00a0perfectly that famous French scientist La Croze called Armenian translation of The Bible the &#8221;Queen of\u00a0Translations&#8221;. The first sentence to have been translated into Armenian from the \u201cProverb Book\u201d of Solomon Wise is \u201cAttend wisdom and discipline; understand words of insight\u201d, which testifies that Armenian alphabet is Our Lord\u2019s grace to Armenians.<br \/>\nLong live our saint translators, who created a unique culture and a perfect language, which give us opportunity easily to pronounce any word in any language due to its sound system which contains 39 sounds, more than any other language in the world. Armenian alphabet is phonemic; its uniqueness is the fact that each letter corresponds to one single phoneme, and each phoneme is always represented by the same letter.\u00a0Moreover, everyone can notice the unique similarity and difference of Armenian fonts at the same time as\u00a0our letters differ from each other only by a single particle.\u00a0Today the only thing Armenians can do is to pray and wish the spirit of Translators and their grace to remain with each Armenian!<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-small.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"facebook_send\",\"google\",\"pinterest\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"en_US\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Miracle of Armenian Alphabet \";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Armenian Church annually celebrates \u201cHoly Translators\u2019 Day\u201d on the second Saturday of October as\u00a0the holiday of Armenian literature and culture revived by the first translations of Mesrop Mashtots and his godsons.
