Thanks To Bayrams

Come to us for bayram and see how we celebrate this traditional and religious day.On these days we come together with relatives and friends.We do lots of things to empower relations and to have fun.

On the first day of a bayram,we get up early.We wear the clothes which we bought days( may be weeks) ago.Especially for children clothes are really important,they sleep with them,the night before.

Then,men go to bayram "namaz".after the namaz they celebrate each other`s bayram in mosque.while men are doing that women prepare a big breakfast.Everything is done with happiness.When father comes from namaz,children kiss hands and take sweets or money.After the breakfast we go to visit our relatives and neighbours,but be careful,older people are firt to visit.It's a tradition that we visit them,kiss their hands and chat with them,during this visiting,they pray for us.

In addition,we visit our friens and neighbours.while celebrating their bayrams,we eat our dessert.Yes,serving dessert is a tradition,too.Especially,our traditional dessert "baklava" is served.Wherever you go,you have to eat the delicious,big,traditional Turkish baklava.Also people say " Let's eat sweet,talk sweet ".This is a very brilliant and true saying.While,people are celebrating bayrams,they communicate with each other,they keep in touch and they empower their relations.Even the people who are cross with each other,they get to speak again.I mean bayrams bring peace.

On the night of a bayram,people go to places which have an organization of an entertainment for bayram.For example "Karagoz and Hacivat" plays.Or families and relatives go to lunapark together,for their children.While children are enjoying,they have a talk,mostly about old bayrams.

In conclusion bayrams are our most important traditions.Because we keep the touch via bayrams.Thanks to bayram days we have lots of relations and entertainment.Come and have entertainment with us.You won't regret...
