Vardavar is celebrated 98 days after Easter and though is now a Christian tradition, the holiday's origins date back to Pagan times and is associated with Astghik, the goddess of water, love, and family. It is one of Armenia's most cherished holidays.
Vardavar was originally associated with the goddess Astghik, Tsaturyan says. As goddess of water, beauty, love and fertility, Astghik would present roses and spray rosewater intent on spreading love—and to honor Vahagn, god of fire and war.
