Hidrellez is coming to your home!

I hope they will come true soon ;-)

Hidrellez, is one of the seasonal festivals of all Turkish world. Hidrellez Day, which is known as Ruz-i Hizir (day of Hizir), is celebrated as the day on which Prophets Hizir and Ilyas met with each other on earth. The words Hizir and İlyas have since fused together pronounced as Hıdrellez. Hıdrellez Day falls on May 6 in the Gregorian calendar and April 23 in the Julian calendar, also known as the “Rumi” calendar.

In the folk calendar used by the people, the year used to be divided into two: The period between May 6 and November 8 was summer, called the “Days of Hizir”, and the period between November 8 and May 6 was winter, called the “Days of Kasim”. May 6 thus represents the end of winter and the start of the warm days of summer, a cause for celebration. ( source )

  1. Hizir rushes to the aid of people in difficulty and grants peoples’ wishes.
  2. He always helps well-meaning, benevolent people.
  3. He brings plenty and wealth wherever he stops.
  4. He brings remedies to those who are troubled and health to the sick.
  5. He helps plants to grow, animals to reproduce, and human beings to grow strong
  6. He helps improve peoples’ fortune.
  7. He is the symbol of good omens and good fortune.
  8. He has the God-given power of working miracles.
