Festivals (Bayrams), Mevlid Programs

Our traditional festivals provide the most practical means for improving human relationships. People experience a deep inward pleasure. They meet and exchange good wishes in blessed atmosphere of spiritual harmony. The festivals are of a much greater significance for children. They feel a different joy and pleasure during festivals, which they have been preparing to welcome a few days before, and they cause us to experience the festivals more deeply through their play, their songs, smiles and cheerfulness.

Children are often rewarded with gifts, money, and sweets. Lights and other decorations mark the happy occasion.
