Good Morning friends
The 7th of Aprils is a national holiday in
Armenia.
It comes not long after another national holiday, Women's
Day, which is celebrated on March 8.
Women's Day is meant to honor all women, but Motherhood and
Beauty Day is dedicated especially to those who have become mothers.
Children and adults alike show their affection for their
mothers with special visits, cards, and gifts.
Sending flowers to one's mother is an especially popular way
to mark this holiday. Another tradition associated with the day is the gift of
a twig that has fresh sprouts on it.
The symbolism of the budding twig, and the holiday's
placement in the springtime, are indicators that the celebration may trace its
roots back to ancient fertility cults, such as the cult of Anahit, the goddess
of fertility and healing.
Have a great day.
