On February 13, we celebrated Trndez at the European School. As part of the celebration, students learned about the religious and cultural significance of the holiday, tasted traditional Armenian dishes, and participated in engaging themed games. In the spirit of the holiday, the children brought offerings such as roasted wheat, wheat, pomegranates, dried fruits, homemade halva, and gata (a traditional pastry). Staff and students also wore traditional Armenian clothing and accessories.

Significance of the celebration:
