Ter Hakob Khachatryan, priest of St. Grigor Lusavorich church, finds it difficult to say whether the number of visitors to the church has increased this year or not. However, he has noticed that the number of fasting holders has dropped. "It means that keeping fasting has become more conscious. If in previous years the majority of women hold fasting, this year the number of young people who keep fasting has grown," he says. According to the priest, keeping fasting is an inner spiritual need. When a person commits a sin, his mental emotions come to him. Man enters into custody to get rid of some mistakes. On the Day of Resurrection, the Divine Liturgy is celebrated, and the next day they should visit the cemetery. Is it necessary to paint eggs when you mention Easter?
