Masks, folk songs, dances, theatrical performances, games, and most importantly, a joyful atmosphere – all can be found at the Barekendan festival which is enjoyed by both religious and not so religious citizens alike.
People traditionally not only have fun at the festival, but also lay tables heaped with food in preparation for the long, 48-day fast.
The Church explains that Barekendan is a reminder of happiness, of heavenly life; a reminder that Adam and Eve were cast out of eden after having eaten the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Life.
In the past, people used to wear evil masks at the festival in order to scare off evil. Nowadays the masks are less scary, though some still look terrifying.
***This year it will take place in Pambak, Byurakan on March 3.
