Yazidis celebrate the holiday " Klocha Sare Sale”
The Yazidi community today celebrates "Klocha Sare Sale" - a holiday of renewal, the onset of spring, new life, new year.
According to tradition, today all Yazidi Housewives bake a new year's cake-a kloche, in which they place a bead or a coin. On this ezhe day, as a sign of remembrance of the dead, Yazidis treat their neighbors and relatives to kadami.
On the morning of the next day, all the family members gather around the pie to witness the head of the family, after mentioning God, cut it.
First, a knife is passed through the middle of the pie, and this is called "Hata jot" - the furrow of the plough, then one side is divided into pieces, each of which is presented as a gift to angels and saints, and the other is cut according to the number of family members. After the discovery of the beads, it is announced which Saint will patronize the family this year and which of the family members received a special blessing.
The tradition of cutting kloche originates from the following legend – once in Lalish (the religious center of the Yazidis, Iraqi Kurdistan), the Holy sheikhs gathered, placed a bead in the kloche and the one who got the bead and became the main Sheikh.
It is believed that during this holiday, God sends the angel Malak Zain to earth for a blessing, after which she begins to dress up. This religious holiday is closely associated with the awakening of nature and fertility.
It should be noted that only Yazidis of the former USSR celebrate Kloce Sara Saleh in mid-March, which is a feature of Yazidis who come from the Sarhad region. At the same time, this tradition has many common features with the holidays of the Yazidis of Turkey and Iraq, which take place at a completely different time.
