“Tiarn Und Dzez” is one of the most ancient national holidays of Armenian people, and it has several folk names“Tiarn Und Dzez” or “Tiarn Und Araj”, ”Trndez” etc.
On February 13 , the Armenian Church celebrates the Feast of the Lord's Presentation to the Temple. Tiarn'ndaraj, or Candlemas as it is known in the West, symbolizes the presentation of the 40 day-old Christ Child to the Temple in Jerusalem. Many additional customs have been inherited from the past, including the blessing of the four corners of the world in the Andastan Service, the blessing of newlywed couples, as well as offering prayers for the crops and fertility of the fields.
The most interesting part of this feast is then people make fire, flavoring the feast with traditional dances and songs.
On this very special day Armenian Travel Company SacVoyage.am offers you a great and unforgettable tour to Armenia. Looking forward getting full description of this event!
