2. EASTER IN MY FAMILY
Hello I am Vahe. Today I will tell what we celebrate Easter
in my family. We celebrate Easter with all family. My
grandparents usually join us. My mother colors eggs,
cooks fish and rice with raisins because it is a traditional
Armenian dish for Easter. My parents and
grandparentsdrink wine and wish happy Easter to each
other.
I like Easter because we play with eggs, eat tasty food and
have a lot of fun. We also go to church and light a
candle.
3. EASTER IN ARMENIA
This holiday is one of the five important
feasts of the Armenian Church and people
call it Zatik.
Armenia has got some traditions for Easter
celebration. The feast begins in the
evening of Holy Saturday after the
ceremony of Andastan. This ceremony is
for blessing of the four corners of the
world. These figures should be decorated
with 49 stones and an onion.
Easter colored eggs are traditional for
Armenia. The eggs should be colored red,
since it's the color of the sun.
