Ascension Day or Hampartsoum


Ascension Day (Hampartsoum) is the holiday of love and enjoyment, which is celebrated outdoors in the blossom of May, 40 days after Easter. The celebration also is called Jangyulum in Armenia. In ancient times on this day the young ladies were allowed to walk freely in the fields, sing songs, and make acquaintances, which often became crucial in their lives. Rice cooked with milk is the main dish of the day, called gatnaboor. It is very similar to rice pudding. Arit.am will provide happy mood and bright impressions on this holiday.
