Tsaghkazard 2017, the Palm Sunday in Armenia
On the last Sunday of Lent, the Armenian Church celebrates the Christian holiday of Palm Sunday, or Tsakhkazard, which literally means “decorated with flowers”. Decorative eggs are traditionally dyed red, using the skins of red onions and dried flowers are painted with bright colours. Branches of weeping willows are twisted together in form of wreaths to symbolize the rebirth of nature during springtime.
