Also, to ward off evil spirits, both bride and groom wore lavash (traditional Armenian flat bread) over their shoulders upon entry to their home for the first time.
Человек научился возделывать пшеницу, ячмень, просо и другие злаки. У древних шумеров, вавилонян, египтян, ассирийцев, этрусков, евреев, персов появились ступки и ручные мельницы. Тогда были созданы предпосылки для изобретения печеного хлеба. Из густой зерновой каши наши далекие предки пекли пресные лепешки. Примерно таким образом в Закавказье и сейчас пекут лаваши, наклеивая пресное тесто на внутренние боковые стенки печей. По всей вероятности, армянский лаваш, который и сейчас можно купить в Москве, больше всего напоминает по вкусу первые лепешки. Готовили такие лепешки из дробленого зерна пшеницы, ячменя, проса или овса или из их смеси, воды или молока, иногда добавлялось небольшое количество жира. Круглую лепешку из зерновой каши часто просто высушивали на нагретых камнях

The culture of making and sharing flatbread in communities of Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey carries social functions that have enabled it to continue as a widely-practised tradition. Making the bread (lavash, katyrma, jupka or yufka) involves at least three people, often family members, with each having a role in its preparation and baking. In rural areas, neighbours participate in the process together. Traditional bakeries also make the bread. It is baked using a tandyr/tanūr (an earth or stone oven in the ground), sāj (a metal plate) or kazan (a cauldron). Besides regular meals, flatbread is shared at weddings, births, funerals, various holidays and during prayers. In Azerbaijan and Iran, it is put on the bride’s shoulders or crumbled over her head to wish the couple prosperity while in Turkey it is given to the couple’s neighbours. At funerals in Kazakhstan it is believed the bread should be prepared to protect the deceased while a decision is made from God and in Kyrgyzstan sharing the bread provides a better afterlife for the deceased. The practice, transmitted by participation within families and from master to apprentice, expresses hospitality, solidarity and certain beliefs that symbolize common cultural roots reinforcing community belonging.
