2. Easter in Armenia
Easter or “Zatik” in Armenia is one of the most
colorful, joyful celebrations of the year. With
traditions dating back thousands of years, visitors
are invited to church ceremonies, to participate in
community events, to feast like the locals and
enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the region.

blood of Christ. Voices everywhere are raised in
greeting and response of “Krisdos haryav ee
merelotz!” – Christ is risen!” and “Orhnyal eh
harootiunun Krisdosee!” – “Blessed is the
resurrection of Christ!” while Easter eggs are
cracked together! Sweet bread is shared and the
table is decorated with colored eggs nestled in
dishes of fresh spring grass
