Tomar is the synonym of the the word 'calendar'. There is a commonly known opinion, based on which the calendar was created in the result of human economic activity. In Grigor Brutian's opinion, a tomar specialist, this is a one-sided and faulty approch. Tomar is a system for time division and it has to do, in the first place, with religion and human understanding of relegion. The bronze brace discovered in 1946, in Sanahin, a number of pictograms found in Syunik, testify that our ancestors had a rather developed knowledge of calendar. Why does the Armenian Church celebrate the Holy Birth (Christmas) in January 6, what are the historical events behind the tradition of celebrating the New Year in January?
The program ''Tomar'' provides interesting and useful information on the internal pattern of Armenian calendar, old and new calendars.
