Celebration

Armenian flag in heart shape

I want to tell you my true story about Valentine's Day. In my homeland, we celebrate the fest of love, St . Sarkis Day. We celebrate this 63 days before Easter, between January 18 and February 23, the first Saturday . Around 10 years ago I had a dream which I remember every year. We have a tradition that day, we eat salty foods all day, and we don't drink water. Legend has it that a boy should give you water in a dream and that will be your husband. In my life it's come true. I saw in my dream my future husband two years before my marriage. The next year, I had a dream the same day of my future daughter.Two years after my dreams, they came true. I married the man of my dream and gave birth to the sunshine girl of my dream. I would like for everyone to have such a dream which comes true on the holiday of love.
