During the festival, volunteers cook harisa, traditional Armenian food that is said to be cooked by Armenian refugees during the 40 days of resistance on Musa Dagh.
Musa Dagh Memorial
The Musa Dagh Memorial is dedicated to the heroic battle of Musa Dagh. The monument's architect was Rafayel Israyelian and its sculptor was Ara Harutyunyan.[4] The monument was built with the financial resources and direct participation of Musa Dagh residents of Armenia and the Armenian diaspora. The monument that resembles an impregnable fortress was made to symbolize the stubborn and unbreakable will, the spirit of liberation, masculinity and courage of the participants in the heroic battle of Musa Dagh.[5][4] Next to the monument, at the foot of the hill, are also the graves of Musa Dagh residents who died in the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.
