On April 24th people gather up. Then we have a huge march and peacefully protest about the Armenian genocide. People will protest about how the Turks will not admit to causing the Armenian Genocide. This event has been going on for 102 years. I also learned that Noah from Noah's Ark had went to a mountain in Armenia. The mountain is known as Mount Ararat. Mount Ararat is also a resting place. It is a national symbol. Also it is considered to be a sacred mountain. Along with Noah's Ark, it is depicted on the coat of arms of Armenia. ]]> 2017-03-22 18:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/faithh2248/vc20dw83mzzn/wish/161921404 faithh2248 https://padlet.com/faithh2248/vc20dw83mzzn/wish/161922061 Something all Armenians make apart of their society is birth, marriage, and death. Birth is celebrated with family and friends. Armenians even have a party for a baby's first tooth. Gifts would be presented to the child, like pencils, makeup, plants, etc. Then the gifts will be set out on the table. The first thing the baby picks, will be his/hers future career. For example, lets say the baby picks the pencil, Armenians predict the baby will become a writer or teacher.
