Spring begins to warm the winters of Armenia in the early days of March and lasts through mid-May. Accompanied by regular rains, the temperature hovers around 10 to 14 degrees Celcisus, though can be extremely variable in the more mountainous regions. Flowers begin blooming in the northern areas between April and May. Found in a subtropical zone, only the southern areas experience a more subtropical climate, as the northern areas are more affected by the elevation of the Caucasus Mountains. April and May are the rainiest months in Armenia, with 50 and 40 millimeters a month respectively in the capital of Yerevan.
March 22 to April 26
Easter festivals remain the most important religious celebrations in Armenia, with various observances from March 22 to April 26. Easter time, or Surb Zatik, in Armenia, celebrates the resurrection of the Christian Jesus Christ. One familiar tradition includes painting eggs red with natural ingredients, like onion layers. One required dish for an Armenian Easter is trout with red wine. For the youth, there is a tradition to gather near Yerevan churches for and dance traditional folk dances and singing.
