Visit Armenia in July and participate in the funniest and definitely the wettest summer festival of the country! Vardavar, meaning `to pour water over someone` is also known as the Holiday of Water and is all about splashing water on each other. The festival originates from an ancient Armenian legend and celebrates Astghik, the goddess of water, beauty, love and fertility. A great adventure awaits as you explore the water cannon-filled streets of Yerevan with a bucket in your hands, splashing your fellow travellers or unknown `victims` with water. No chance you`re going home in dry clothes!

Easter-observing Christians commonly refer to the week before Easter as Holy Week, which in Western Christianity begins on Palm Sunday (marking the entrance of Jesus in Jerusalem), includes Spy Wednesday (on which the betrayal of Jesus is mourned),and contains the days of the Easter Triduum including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In Eastern Christianity, the same events are commemorated with the names of days all starting with «Holy» or «Holy and Great», and Easter itself might be called «Great and Holy Pascha». In Western Christianity, Eastertide, or the Easter Season, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks, ending with the coming of the 50th day, Pentecost Sunday. In Eastern Christianity, the Paschal season ends with Pentecost as well, but the leave-taking of the Great Feast of Pascha is on the 39th day, the day before the Feast of the Ascension.

Easter and its related holidays are moveable feasts, not falling on a fixed date; its date is computed based on a lunisolar calendar (solar year plus Moon phase) similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established only two rules, namely independence from the Hebrew calendar and worldwide uniformity. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March. Even if calculated on the basis of the Gregorian calendar, the date of that full moon sometimes differs from that of the astronomical first full moon after the March equinox.

The English term is derived from the Saxon spring festival Ēostre;[18] Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by its name, by its origin (according to the synoptic Gospels, both the crucifixion and the resurrection took place during the week of Passover)[19][20] and by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In most European languages, both the Christian Easter and the Jewish Passover are called by the same name; and in the older English versions of the Bible, as well, the term Easter was used to translate Passover.

Easter traditions vary across the Christian world, and include sunrise services or late-night vigils, exclamations and exchanges of Paschal greetings, flowering the cross, the wearing of Easter bonnets by women, clipping the church, and the decoration and the communal breaking of Easter eggs (a symbol of the empty tomb). The Easter lily, a symbol of the resurrection in Western Christianity, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include Easter parades, communal dancing (Eastern Europe), the Easter Bunny and egg hunting. There are also traditional Easter foods that vary by region and culture.

Major rule violations

It is prohibited for a player to touch the net. One of the most common violations, the cause of which, as a rule, is a violation of safety regulations by volleyball players. Until 2014, touching the bottom of the net was allowed, but then the International Volleyball Federation tightened the rules to make the work of referees easier.

A player is prohibited from touching the antenna above the net, including the ball. Failure to comply with this rule, as well as the previous one, can lead not only to the loss of points, but also to injuries in the event of a collision between players.

It is prohibited to step beyond the center line to the opponent’s side of the court. The exception is the feet, if they are above the midline or at least partially touching it.
