There are only a few varieties of pomegranate in the world that have sufficient juiciness and sugar content for the production of wine. These rare varieties include the Armenian pomegranate, the crowned fruits of which ripen under the hot sun of the southernmost Armenian region - Syunik. Pomegranate is one of the symbols of Armenia, an ancient symbol of fertility, immortality, love and God's grace. In pagan times, pomegranate fruits were dedicated to the Mother Goddess and the Goddess of fertility, as the fruit that symbolized the breasts of Anahit. The priests washed the sacred altars with pomegranate wine as if it were nectar, therefore, throughout the first four centuries in Christian Armenia, the pomegranate was considered a "forbidden fruit" The fruit that had fallen into disfavor was absent from Armenian official art until the middle of the 7th century, when Catholicos Nerses Ill began the construction of Zvartnots - the Temple of Vigilant Forces - near Vagharshapat, one of the two dominant ornaments of which is a pomegranate.
