    WIKIPEDIA excerpt:


    The 40th day has great significance in Orthodox religion. That is the period during which soul of deceased wanders on earth. On 40th day ascension of his soul occurs. Therefore, it's The most important day in mourning period, on which special prayers should be held on grave site of deceased. This custom originates from old Slavic pagan religion and it was incorporated into Orthodox religion, during the Christianization of old Slavic nations


    My uncle passed away recently, and my cousin keeps talking about the 40th day services that are being planned.  We are of Armenian descent.
