I couldn’t think of a better way to kick-off the Lenten season than with a Poon Paregentan dance featuring the fabulous music of Johnny Berberian, Ara Dinkjian, Leon Janikian, and Mike Gregian, and world-famous vocalist, Onnik Dinkjian.

In the Armenian Church, Lent begins on the Monday before the Catholic Church’s Ash Wednesday. On the Sunday before Lent, Armenians celebrate Poon Paregentan, or
"a day of good living," a time to feast before the fasting of Lent begins. This day is considered the first step of the Lenten journey.
