Armenian traditions

1. Salty biscuits

Step aside St. Valentine. St. Sargis (Surb Sarkis) is the Armenian patron saint of love and youth. And in his name, the key to the Armenian heart lies in a salty biscuit.

On the eve of 14 February, Armenian singletons eat a specially prepared salty biscuit (known as aghiblit) and abstain from drinking water.

Legend has it that they will dream of their future partner bringing them a cup of water to ease their thirst. And if not, better luck next year.
