ST SARGIS DAY
Support A1+!The All Armenian Catholicos Garegin II announced 21 January the Day of St Sargis this year. St Sargis is one of the popular saints in Armenia. He died for the sake of Christian belief together with his son Martiros and 14 soldiers.
St Sargis day is celebrated not only by rituals and prayers, but also by national traditions. St Sragis is the patron saint of young lovers. He makes their dream come true. Young people pray to him and the Saint helps them.
Unmarried young people eat a piece of salty bread in the evening, ideally after fasting all day, in the hope of dreaming about their future husbands or wives. Tradition says the man or the woman who brings them water in the dream will be the person they marry. On that day young people in love give each other sweets and postcards as a mark of love.
