''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.

The legitimation of the ''madagh'' sacrifice within the early Armenian Christian church is particularly associated with Gregory the Illuminator.
