Armenia has its own unique Easter celebrations and traditions. Its liturgical history is long, having been the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion in 301 AD. Easter is one of the brightest and the most solemn holidays of the Armenian Apostolic Church. It is a moveable feast, the day of the celebration is not fixed and each year it is different. The feast of the holiday is always celebrated from 22 March to 26 April (35 days).
Easter or the feast of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is known in Armenia as Surb Zatik, is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb on the third day after his crucifixion. It means getting rid of sins and resumption towards God. Christian churches are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is the fulfilled prophecy of the Messiah who would be persecuted, die for our sins, and rise on the third day. Remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin.
