Although, Gregorian calendar is used since 1 Jan 1927 the religious fests are celebrated according to Islam calendar in Turkey. As a consequence, the religious festivals are not celebrated on the same day every year because they are calculated according to the Islam calendar called “Kameri Takvim”. Islam calendar is approximately 10 days shorter than the Christian year so the religious festival of Greater Bairam and the holy month of Ramadan circulate throughout the Christian year. Ramadan and Greater Bairam (Sacrifice Fest) are the most important religious festivals in all Muslim countries. If you really wish to celebrate a religious fest of a friend, I suggest you to visit the link http://www.earthcalendar.net/ to get information about the dates of religious fests in Turkey and other Islam Counries. You can also get more information about religious fests by visiting http://www.kultur.gov.tr/portal/kultur_en.asp?belgeno=5656 All other fests and holidays are celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar. Here are a list of Holidays and Fests for Turkey : |
