Dear Friends,
I am very happy to share a religious event taking place in Turkiye. It is “holy birth week.” I watched a program about this event during my stay in Turkiye. I was most interested in the calendar difference.
Hz. Mohammed’s birthday is celebrated as Mevlid Kandil by Muslims. According to Muslim Calendar, it befits to the day 11 Rebievvul. According to Gregorian Calendar, this date gets behind 11 days and every year one day comes back. This week that begins with Mevlid Kandil is celebrated as Prophet's birthday by Muslims. At this week Muslims pray and read the Quran for prophet. At this period the Prophet is remembered and Muslims talk about his works and they arrange activities for him. What do you think about the calendar difference?
Best wishes,

It sounds like ours sun calendar.
ReplyDeleteThere are 28 days in February.
But sometimes there are 29 days in February.
It is once every four years.
So do you think is a little similar?
