Today the Yezidis begin the fast days of "Rojie Khidr Nabi and Khidr Ailas", which last three days. On Friday, believers celebrate the holiday of Aida Khidr Nabi.

Restrictions and violation of fasting:

* Deliberate eating and drinking before sunset
* Sleep in the daytime
* Smoking
* Eating (Paşîv)

Food and water intake is allowed before sunrise and after sunset, before the start of the meal, believers wash and read a prayer.

They are exempt from fasting:

* Minor children
* The elderly and the sick
* Pregnant and breast-feeding women

In the Yezidi view, Khidr and Ailas (Khidr Nabi and Khidr Ailas, sometimes a distorted form of Hrdailaz, Hrdnabi) are two saints, riders on a white horse. They are called: Khidr Nabi and Khidr Ailas riders on a white horse. The first is the executor of desires and the patron of lovers, and the second is the patron of those traveling by sea. Sometimes they appear as two brothers, and sometimes as father and son. Some identify them and consider them to be one person and are mentioned in Yezidi qawls.
