    In September, all Armenians celebrate the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. It is celebrated starting September 13th and continues for a few days. Many churches and clergy dress the cross with basil
    (or "rahan") and bless it. Then priests bless the rest of the parish by throwing holy water throughout the church. This feast is one of the five major feast days in the Armenian church.

    In the month of September, on the 21st all Armenians celebrate the Independence of the Republic of Armenia. Armenians first got their modern independence in 1918, after centuries of living in Persian, Russian, and Turkish empires. Then regained their independence after 70 years of Soviet Union rule in 1991.

    On September 21st, all Armenians celebrate Independence Day. Armenia originally gained its independence in 1918 but after only a year, they were subjected to Soviet rule. In 1991, along with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia regained it's independence after hundreds of years of being ruled by others.
