 Armenia Motherhood and Beauty DayThis is a national holiday in Armenia, celebrated each year on April 7. It comes not long after another national holiday, Women's Day, which is celebrated on March 8.

According to the Holy Bible, it was on April 7 that the guardian angels gave the Virgin Mary the Good News that she will give birth to Jesus Christ in nine months.
For centuries, April 7 is marked in Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora as Women’s, Motherhood, Beauty, and Spring Day.
On this day Armenian men give presents to their mothers, sisters, wives, and girlfriends.

_____________________________ I was thinking that some feminists might not like women to be seen as "breeders" of the human race.

monamagda said "According to the Holy Bible, it was on April 7 that the guardian angels gave the Virgin Mary the Good News that she will give birth to Jesus Christ in nine months." Where in the Bible does it say on april 7 Mary was visited by the guardian angel?
