| Bairams, ceremonies and festivals which are crucial components of folk cultures are also the most important cultural values of nations that bind human communities together. Hıdrellez, which is belonging to Turkish world in Anatolia, Iraq, Crimea, Balkans and Syria, is one of these. Hıdrellez having been celebrated by Turks for a very long time is a seasonal festival which; heralds the end of the winter and the arriving of the summer and is on May 6th, the day on which is believed Prophets Hızır (Al-Khidr) and Ilyas (Elijah) met on the earth. Beliefs, manners and customs accompanied in time with Hıdrellez have helped this cultural event be even more prosperous. Ceremonies welcoming seasons are quite common among Turkish people. Especially, the arrivals of the spring and the summer have particular importance. March 21st, which is accepted as the first day of spring, is celebrated as Nowruz; and May 6th, the first day of the summer, is celebrated as Hıdrellez. In these seasons nature comes to life, trees come into leaf, crops are raised and animals reproduce. The summer is to be fertile for people to get prepared for the following winter and to spend it in welfare. |
