The Yazidi community today celebrates "Klocha Sare Sale" - a holiday of renewal, the onset of spring, a new life, a new year.

According to tradition, today all Yazidi housewives bake a New Year's cake-a piece in which a bead or a coin is placed. On the same day, as a sign of commemoration of the deceased, Yazidis treat their neighbors and relatives with freshly baked cakes-kadami.

On the morning of the next day, all the family members gather around the cake (cake) to be present when the head of the family, after mentioning the God. First, a knife is drawn through the middle of the pie, and this is called "Hata Jot" (i.e., the furrow of the plow), then one side is divided into pieces, each of which is brought as a gift to the angels and saints, and the other is cut according to the number of family members. After the discovery of the bead, it is announced which saint will patronize the family this year (if the bead fell into the piece under the name of an angel) and which of the family members received a special blessing (if the bead is found in the piece under the name of a family member).

The tradition of cutting a Piece takes its origins from the following legend – once in Lalesh (the religious center of the Yazidis, Iraqi Kurdistan), the holy sheikhs gathered, placed a bead in the Piece, and the one who got the bead, and became the main shekh.

It is believed that during this holiday, God sends the angel Malak Zayn to the earth for a blessing, after which the earth will begin to dress up. This religious holiday is closely associated with the awakening of nature and fertility.

It should be noted that Klocha Sara Sale is celebrated in mid-March only by Yazidis of the former USSR, 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.
