Madagh
''Madagh'' is an Armenian custom of commemorating victims through requiem services, most often associated with the annual remembrance of the Armenian Genocide. ''Madagh'' is typically celebrated with community gatherings sponsored by churches, which include public offerings of food. Food offerings often include lamb stew with pilaf made from bulgur, and Armenian flat bread or ''katah'' bread.
==Historical origins & contemporary interpretations==
Some religious scholars assert that ''madagh'' (or sometimes ''matal'') has its roots in ancient liturgical sacrifice. The legitimation of the ''madagh'' sacrifice within the early Armenian Christian church is particularly associated with Gregory the Illuminator.〔Gilhus, Ingvild Saelid. 2006. ''Animals, Gods and Humans: Changing Attitudes to Animals in Greek, Roman and Early Christian Thought.'' Routledge.〕 The ''madagh'' is still considered one of the most important religious blessings in the contemporary Armenian Church.〔(Official Armenian Church website )〕 Contemporary church leaders assert that the ritual today is imbued with a new set of religious significance within the canon of Orthodox Christian practice.〔(Armenian Church Research and Analysis Group ). "Testing the Myth and Beyond." ''Window'' Vol. II, No. 4〕 Contemporary interpretations link the ''madagh'' with the practice of Christian ''agape'', or communal fellowship and love. It is also connected with the practice of religious charity, because the meal is often given to the community for free and is associated with feeding the poor.〔(St. Hagop's Armenian Church )〕
Members of the Armenian diaspora typically associate the serving of the ''madagh'' with an annual commemoration of "(martyr's day )", the anniversary of the massacre of Armenian intellectuals throughout the Anatolian peninsula, which took place on April 24, 1915 (Armenian Genocide). Although, for many, this is an apt time for partaking in ''madagh'', ''madagh'' celebrations take place throughout the summer months. The connection of the ''madagh'' to commemoration of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey may be a contentious point, as the genocide is not officially recognized within Turkey. This post uses the term "genocide" to accurately reproduce the understanding and interpretations of those populations that are enacting the ritual and is in keeping with most scholarly accounts. Moreover, despite its association with the genocide, the ''madagh'' may be used as part of other requiem services (''Hokehankisd''), including victims of other massacres or departed loved ones.〔
