The day of the newlyweds is celebrated 40 days after Christmas. People
call this holiday Trndez. On this day bonfires are made and young
couples jump over the fire and get cleared of sins and bad luck.

Unlike the Catholic St. Valentine’s day, Karabakh started celebrating
Trndez quite recently, thanks to several youth organizations.

Today in the morning the youth wing of the Open Society NGO was the
first to congratulate the citizens of Stepanakert. Young people gave
pretty small bags with traditional sweets in the streets.

This year the ministry of culture is not going to celebrate the
holiday.
