Abstract:

Traditions and traditions continue to exist as important elements for each nation. One of the important elements that carry the thought and viewpoint of the Turkish people from the past to the present is the holidays. It is possible to classify holidays as feasts, religious and national holidays. The three kinds of holidays are also important for social integration and mutual love, because they are celebrated with a number of people who can be called crowds. The Turkish nation, which offers significant contributions to the world cultural heritage, which accepts itself with its national and spiritual values to the geography they live in every period, is one of the peoples with many celebrations among other societies. The only reason for this situation can be explained by the deep history, moving structure and rich culture of the Turks. In particular, the geographical areas where the Turks are settled are areas where long winters are intense. Therefore, in the holidays of the Turks, the ceremonies and celebrations that are held in the same way as the spring and summer seasons, where the land is resurrected, the weather is warmed after the hard winter, the abundance and prosperity begins, holds an important place. The theme of betting is the place of Hıdırellez and Nevruzun, which is celebrated in all Turkish geographies in the spring during the celebrations. In this article, we will discuss the Hıdırellez holiday, which is celebrated in the Karabük island and its surroundings in the form of traditions of Turkish culture and civilization, with a rooted past and rich content.

Especially the geographies where the Turks settled are the regions where long winters are intense. Therefore, the festivals of the Turks are identified with the rising of the soil, the warming of the air after the harsh winter, the spring and summer seasons where abundance starts, and the ceremonies and celebrations that take place in this season are important. The importance of Hıdırellez and Nevruz, celebrated in all Turkish geographies in spring for the mentioned feasts, is different.
