In pre-Christian Armenia Vardavar was associated with the love between the goddess Astghik and the god Vahagn. The goddess Astghik, who was the goddess of water, beauty, love, and fertility, was sowing love in whole Armenia by granting roses and spilling rose water. The god Vahagn was perpetually fighting with Evil and was protecting Astghik’s love. A legend says that Astghik once got to know that her beloved Vahagn had been wounded.

The red rose became the symbol of love afterwards.
