    Celebrated on the nearest Sunday to August 15, the Assumption of St. Mary is one of the five significant feast days dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the Armenian Church. This holy event is Mary's heavenly birthday with the miracle of Jesus bringing his Mother to Paradise. Following the Divine Liturgy in churches, there is a Blessing of the Grapes ceremony. The custom dates back to pagan times and Old Testament rituals when villagers presented their harvest as a gift to the gods. On this day, the fruit's yearly intake is blessed, and after the ceremony ends, those in attendance eat the first harvested grapes.
