| The religious and social events of Yazidis are related to the movement of the sun (Mithra / Tawousi king) and their impact on the climate cycle. These feasts and their agricultural and pastoral rituals back to ancient times when their Koutians ancestors "Korman" lived in the Zacros Mountains. The ancient Indo-Aryans divided the year into two m^ui seasons: Spring and Autumn, Spring witnesses the birth of the new year, where Mithra / Tawasi King receives Affairs of Earth again, In the autumn, the feast is celebrated, and the ceremonies are held: the Surah Maas / the installation of the Barrayat / AI-Qabag and the Taurus sacrifice / the Feast of Meran / the Eucharist. Between the two seasons come the "Summer and Winter Marbanieat feasts begin, and glorify the proud mithra, which is similar to the July wheat spirit, and is also associated with the following feast, "Izy / Mithra", which comes in the last three days of the autumn, ;n which the sun get rid of darkness and the day begin to rise. The rituals of Blunde / Batzmi / Korka Kay / Khulasar / Bireh Chnoki, are held, which all related to the birth of Mithra. In the Mid-February, "Eid Khadralias," the feast of love , goodness, blessing, and development is celebrated, in which slaughtering is prohibited, and make a candy of beans, to get ready for the spring as a sign of a birth of the new year. | ||
