Armenians celebrate 'Book Giving Day' on February 19th. It's a day where people gift books to friends and family to promote literacy and honor their literary heritage. In the Armenian Diaspora, 'գիրք կարդալ' in Armenian is seen as a vital way to preserve the language and connection to the homeland. In Armenian schools, there is a strong emphasis on 'Արտադասարանական ընթերցանություն' (Extracurricular reading), where students are expected to read a list of classics over the summer. The 'Narek' (Book of Lamentations by St. Gregory of Narek) is a book many Armenians keep under their pillows, believing that reading it or even having it near has healing powers.
