Get up!The day has come!

There are a lot of customs among Kurdish people. The most interesting one that attracts me is the way they celebrate Eide Fetr. Everybody appreciates this day.

After one month of fasting, now people want to thank God for the given opportunities during the Ramadan. Any body, no matter how old she or he is, gets up early about 5 or 6 in the morning. All the people put on their beautiful clothes and clean their houses in the best possible way. After the special Azan is done,the majority of people go to mosques to say the prayer of Eide Fetr, while the others do it at home. Coming back home, they congratulate the day to their family members. Then they go to visit their relatives, neighbors and friends. The doors of the houses are open during the day. Every family, poor or rich, makes the most delicious food, specially, Ghorme Sabzi or Khoresh Khalal, for this day. They prefer to eat the food in the morning, since they want to have a different day. The elders give Eidy to the young ones. People are kind, happy and energetic, so they enjoy their time very much.

In fact, the day of Eide Fetr is a special and different one for Kurdish people. Every body tries to do his or her best on this day.

I think, this day is a symbol for those who think of having a meaningful life.

Every day should be like this day!
