Easter

In the Armenian tradition, there is a game of eggs between two people. The owner of the breaking egg is declared the winner and eats the broken egg. It is also a tradition to eat Easter eggs with tarragon, salt and lavash.
In the tradition of Western countries, eggs are hidden in the grass or greens, and children try to find them. It is called "Easter hunting".Armenians celebrated Easter in April, much earlier than Christianity. It was called Easter because of the separation of spring from winter. There are hypotheses that in the beginning it was a stationary holiday and coincided with the equinox of March 21, in the sense of separating night and day. Eggs are also painted during the Armenian Pagan New Year and the Persian Nowruz holiday, which begins at the spring equinox. In the Armenian pagan new year, 2012 dyed eggs were eaten with tarragon, salt and lavash.
