Today, exactly 98 days after the Easter, Armenians celebrate Վարդավառ / Vardavar / Вардавар, one of the the most joyful and remarkable festivals in Armenia. Although now a Christian holiday, Vardavar is actually a pagan feast by origin. It’s traditionally associated with Astghik, the pre-Christian Goddess of water, beauty and love, who had spread love on Armenian earth by pouring rose water onto people. And that is why the feast is called Vardavar (Vard means "rose" and Var means "rise" in Armenian). The game in which people drench each other with water is called Ջրոցի / Jrotsi. There are no rules for it. Thus, today everyone can pour water on anybody in Armenia, from early morning until late night. Besides, it is believed that Vardavar water has healing power. Vardavar is also widely celebrated among the Armenian diaspora all over the world.
