The day was very interesting and adventurous. We took a bus and set off. We started our trip just from the churchyard of the Holy Trinity and from there we moved to Bjni to participate in Arishta festival held there. When we arrived at Bjni the first thing we did was to visit the church build in the 7th to the 10 century. Were a divine service was going on and we joined it. All this process transferred us peace and calmness. Everything was new and impressive for us . When it was over we went to see Arishta festival held annually in Bjni. The participants of the festival sang folk music and also they showed us how to make Arishta, «Arishta is something like noodles typical to Armenian cuisine» there were many pavilions there. In some of them we saw not only different kind of Arishta but also pictures, vegan sweets, dolls wearing Armenian national costumes which were exhibited in different part of pavilions.Then we decided to visit another fifth – century church ST Sarkis but the way to it was blocked.So we went to the bank of the river to enjoy country side and the same time to have lunch and taste Arishta.We saw ship and cows in the fields near the river. At the end of the day we returned to Erevan . The trip had pleasant influence on us.
