Aleppo Yazidis prepare to celebrate Çarşema Sor
The children of the Yazidi community are preparing to celebrate Çerşema Sor, the Yezidi New Year, while the co-chair of the Yazidi House in Aleppo confirmed that "the policy of extermination will not deter us from our insistence on preserving our religion and practicing our rituals."
The Yazidi House in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods of Aleppo is preparing to celebrate the Red Wednesday "Çerşema Sor", the Yazidi New Year, which is the first Wednesday of April according to the eastern calendar, which falls on April 14 this year.
Çerşema Sor is considered one of the feasts for the people of the Yazidi community and the beginning of the formation of the earth and the start of life on it.
Among the rituals of this day is the boiling of eggs, in reference to the freezing of the earth, as the shell symbolizes the melting of the layer of ice from the face of the earth, and its color is an indication of roses and flowers of spring, which is the beginning of life.

What is striking on this day is the comment of the Yazidi community members of a mixture of anemone leaves, colored egg shells and mud at the entrance to signify the advent of the spring season in which flowers and roses grow in all colors and shapes.
They also spread eggs' shells on agricultural lands to bring goodness and blessings. In this month, it is forbidden to dig up the soil and plow in it, because most of the roses, flowers and plants bloom.
And marriage is prohibited in this month, because they believe that April is a date for the renewal of nature itself.
Preparations for this year
To celebrate Eid this year, the Yazidi House in the city of Aleppo formed a group consisting of 8 young men and 13 children, to present prayers and religious sayings on this.
In addition to forming a children's band to perform at the celebration, as these children receive intensive training as Eid approaches.
In this regard, the co-chair of the Yazidi House in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods of Aleppo city, Kelly Ghazala, congratulated all Yazidis in the world and the Yazidi of Afrin, especially on Red Wednesday.
And she said: "For the third year in a row, we celebrate Red Wednesday away from Afrin and our holy places."
"After the occupation of Afrin by the Turkish state and its mercenaries, the mercenaries deliberately sabotaged the holy sites and plundered our sanctities with the aim of eliminating the Yazidi presence."
Ghazaleh stressed that despite the policy of extermination by the Turkish state and its mercenaries against the Yazidi community, they will not discourage us from our determination and insistence in preserving our religion.
The co-chair of the Yazidi House in Aleppo concluded her speech by saying: "We hope that peace and security will prevail in the four parts of Kurdistan, and Afrin and the rest of the occupied areas in Rojava will be liberated from the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries."
