Vardavar in Armenia is celebrated on the fourteenth day after Easter and is considered the Transfiguration of God. First, the Armenians celebrating Vardavar decorated their house with red and orange roses. This decoration was mounted on the roof so that God could see who celebrates this holiday. But now there is a tradition to pour water on people.

Considered that, those who have been poured with water, and who have not resisted and become angry, will be happy, successful and rich.

According to another version, the word Vardavar consists of the roots ward (ward) - water and var - washing, watering means to spray with water, which is the meaning of the holiday. Vardavar is loved by everyone. On this day, it is customary to water each other in all conditions and situations. They water not only, but also passersby on the streets, in shops, cafes, and transport.
