Navruz Bairam
 Every nation has it traditions and holidays. My nation
has own holidays and traditions too. We have holidays
connected with our religion. The greatest of them is
Kurban Bairam. It is celebrated 70 days after a Muslims
fasting – Ramadan. Kurban Bairam is a holiday of
sacrifice (a Turkish word “Kurban” means sacrifice, and
“bairam” means “a holiday”. The Koran, our sacred book,
says that every Muslim should make a sacrifice of a
lamb. He has the right to keep 1/3 of the lamb for his
family. All the rest of the meat should be divided into no
less than 7 pieces and given to the poor. All Muslims are
supposed to give alms during the holiday. Kurban
Bairam is celebrated for three days. A special table is
served for the holiday: a lot of meat meals, stuffing,
sweet biscuits – “shchaker-lame”, tea, coffee. Tables
should be laid from morning till night.

 Traditions play the most important role in the life of
Nogaysh people. They are proud of their traditions
and carefully keep them up. One of them is
«Sabantoy» - the holiday, which lasts one day, to
say thanks to the earth for the future food. The word
«sabantoy» consists of two parts: «saban» means
the plough and «toy» means the holiday. People
celebrate it in the beginning of spring. During this
holiday we celebrate the kindest of the earth that will
give us food. In old times people did their best. They
made different competitions. Now during
«Sabantoy» people do their best to show
themselves in the competitions as in old time.
«Sabantoy» is a joyful religious holiday. I am proud
that our nation has its traditions and holidays and
that I am a son of my nation, and I am very happy to
be a part of the world.
