Ter Shmavon Ghevondyan priest of St. Hovhannes Mkrtich on the meeting
with the journalists excluded that in the Armenian Apostolic churches
there are pies being sold or given to the people. Besides that he
informed that selling salt-pies in the churches is forbidden by the

the churches who sell salt-pies and tell the young people that it is
blessed by the father", – the priest said.

and eating the salt-pies many people call them and ask who should
prepare the salt-pie.
"Doesn’t matter who will prepare", – stressed the priest and added
that the most important thing is that they realize the spiritual
council of the day and not to be lost in the national traditions.
