Second Saturday in October: Holy Translator’s Day (Armenia)

Holy Translator's Day, also known as Targmanchats, is observed in Armenia every second Saturday of October. This official observance was established by the Armenian Apostolic Church to honor the literary figures who translated the Bible into the Armenian language. The celebration commemorates the significant contributions of saints Mesrop Mashtots, Sahak Partev, and King Vramshapuh, who not only created the Armenian alphabet but also laid the foundation for Armenian literature and education. The translators of the Holy Bible were canonized by the Armenian church, and the day serves to recognize their efforts in making religious texts accessible to the Armenian people. The holiday celebrates the cultural and religious heritage of Armenia, reflecting the importance of translation in the country's history.
