Halloween's cool
it's a celebration of the dead... too bad people often misinterprete it...
even pagean Armenians used to celebrate it...
in Armenian, it's called PAREGENTAN (western)
Barekentan (eastern)
and although Armenians of the west coast have lost this tradition, Paregentan is celebrated every February...

actually Barekentan or Paregnetan is getting celebrated three weeks before the 40 day fasting, and heto gites the Zatik is starting.
so here is the process: three weeks Barekentan, 40 days of fasting and later
avak shapat u Zatik. there u go!
just making corrections, 8)

yes... but the main day of paregentan, Poon Paregentan is one day before the lent starts... so 41 days before Easter... which is usually in February... I guess nowadays beginning of March...

Re: Halloween

does anyone have any ideas for a halloween costume with an Armenian theme. i thought of being a choban but that would have been a hard thing to explain and would have given the wrong impression. Any other ideas?

Barev Tigran,

what about *Kajnazar* ?

[jahannam]

I remember when I was in 2nd grade, I dressed up as Soseh Mayrig and my couisn dressed up as Kevork Chavoush = Fedaii (aka terrorist) haha
Armos are the best!
I would tell you to dress as a Fedaii... but I'm afraid the U.S. Government would hunt you down... saying you're promoting "terrorsim" or something :shock:
khenten lol

i would dress like a fedayi but im afraid they wouldnt let me take a replica rifle into high school. and without the rifle it wouldnt be anything.

i think kajnazar is a good idea but then it would be really hard to explain to americans exactly about kajnazar so they wouldnt understand.

I have another idea. i could just get an Army uniform with boots and those small Armenian army caps and i could put the Armenian flag on the arm. other than that ive thought of doing a soviet mafia thing with my russian friends here in nyc and since a lot of the school is russian they would get it.

[Artsakhtsi]

don't do that mafia thing with russians, everyone mix up us with russians all the time- and it's irritating.... Like, when u r tellin' them... hej, i'm from Armenia...they lika- oh russian :shock: stupid bastards!

So the idea with that melitary form is perfect, and dont forget BIG FLAG 8)
