NOUVEL AN (NOR DARI)

"Shnorhavor Nor Dari... yev Sourp Dznount! "This is how we wish a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas... in the order of the calendar, the Armenian Church having set January 6th as the date of the Nativity. A New Year's Eve celebration! New Year's Eve - which is also said to be gaghant, Santa Claus, gaghant baba - is celebrated with the family, around tables filled with special dishes and dried fruit. But it is also around the Christmas tree, which is enthroned on the Republic of Yerevan Square, and to the sound of concerts that we celebrate the passage to the New Year.
