It is believed that in the pre-Christian period, the holiday was dedicated to the goddess of water and rain, Nari. Nari sent fertile rains to the earth. Nari may be a form of the Goddess Tsovinar, known as the Goddess of Seas and of Storms, whose name translates to “Nar of the Sea”. During droughts, people would make wishes to Nari, accompanied by dolls and ritual songs, so that she would bring rain to the fields. The doll that was part of the ritual had different names: Nuri, Houri, Khuchkururik, Chichi-mama, Chichi-muma, etc.

Tsaghkazard was a festival of the season, the worship of spring. It was dedicated not only to water, but also to trees and flowers. The worship of trees was passed down from generation to generation and was considered a product of the vitality and survival of nature. The idea of ​​the Tree of Life also served as the basis for the holiday. It emphasizes the upward development of life, from birth to flowering and fruitfulness. Its highest goal is immortality.

The idea of ​​the Cosmic or Tree of Life also influenced the New Year tree and the Vardavar celebration. On New Year's Day, the tree is decorated with dried fruits and fruits, and on Palm Sunday, with bunches of eggs, which also had auspicious significance. On Palm Sunday, it is customary to decorate trees with colorful rags. That is why the holiday was called Tsarzardar. The worship of the tree continued into the Christian era, as evidenced by the church named "Tachar Mediri" (Forest Temple) in the Khosrov Reserve.
