Like other ritual dishes, the time taken for preparation is part of its cherished value Like other ritual dishes.
Etymology
The dish has been passed on since ancient times. Stories differ as to the origins of the dish. According to Armenian lore, the patron saint of Armenia, Gregory the Illuminator, was offering a meal of love and charity to the poor. There weren't enough sheep to feed the crowds so wheat was added to the cooking pots. They noticed that the wheat was sticking to the bottom of the cauldrons. Saint Gregory advised, "Harekh! Stir it!" Thus, the name of the dish, harissa, came from the saint's own words. Harissa has been offered as a charity meal ever since. The dish is traditionally served on Easter day. It is still prepared by many Armenians around the world and is also considered the national dish of Armenia.

Love Will Never End
by: Hear'SayWhen you're down and you're lonely
You know that I will be there
Even though we've been around the world
Away from you
Just close your eyes
Dreams will come true
This love is now and forever
I found a way to your heart
Through the sunshine and the rainy days
This much is true
Remember
We love you
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
Cause this kind of love never ends
From all of us to all of you
Just close your eyes and let your
Dreams come true
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
Cause this kind of love never ends
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
