Hi Zibaxa,

What an interesting tradition! It's not one I've heard of before - so maybe it is unique to the church in Armenia? Why are the grapes blessed? Is it a thanksgiving for the grapes? Or is it a symbolic way of purifying them?

Hi Zibaxa,
You've written another thought-provoking post and you have received some very interesting comments. I think the story that Elmansour told is fantastic.

There is a girl at our home whom I see every morning. She seems very kind. Every morning she smiles to me and says "Good morning, have a nice day" with her pleasant voice and shes' name is Sona. I know her apartment. Sometimes I listen sound of music from there. Sona listens to jazz, classical music. She is not from Yerevan, she came here to study from Kotayks' region. Sona lives with her grandma. Her grandma is the kindest women in the world. She cooks, goes to supermarket and does all home work so Sona just need to study and hasn't any other worries.

Hi,
Welcome to the BBC Learning English blogs, Zibaxa and thank you for writing two such different and interesting blogs. I have to confess that I had to look at an online atlas to see exactly where Armenia was. I realise how little I know about your country and I look forward to finding out a lot more in the next few weeks.
