Memorial for departed day in Armenia

Read on the website Vestnik Kavkaza


Monday is a public holiday in Armenia due to the Day of Memorial for
the Departed (Merelots) that comes after the Feast of the Exaltation
of the Holy Cross. Saturday 18th will be a work day instead of Monday.
The Merelots day follows each main feast of the Armenian Apostolic
Church. It was proclaimed a holiday in 2008.
