Signification
A mountain of great height.
Contexte culturel
Mountains are considered sacred. Many ancient churches are built on 'բարձր սարեր' to be closer to God. The Yezidi community in Armenia also reveres the mountains, particularly Mount Aragats, for summer pastures. In the modern world, 'բարձր սար' is associated with the 'Seven Summits' challenge, which includes peaks like Everest. In Armenian myths, giants were said to have created the 'բարձր սարեր' by throwing rocks at each other.
