FAMOUS MESIR FESTIVAL

Page 79: Comenius Turkey

The StoryWhen Hafsa Sultan was ill, his son

called for doctors of his time to find a cure. They made a special paste and when Hafsa Sultan ate from it she soon got well. Solomon the Magnificent ordered them to make the paste in large amounts and give away to his people. Since then, every year Mesir Paste, prepared with 41 types of spices, is distributed to people from the Sultan Mosque on Mesir Festival.

MEVLEVIHANE: THE HOUSE OF WHIRLING DERVISHES

Page 82: Comenius Turkey

The Dervishes lived in that house a humble life reciting the Holy Quran and meditating Allah.

Page 83: Comenius Turkey
Page 84: Comenius Turkey

The Mevlevi life is based on “adab and erkan” (discipline and rules of conduct)

In their conduct, they are very kind, graceful, and discreet

Every part of the Mevlevi system of behavior bears a symbolical meaning, and this can be observed in the act of the whirling dervishes in ‘Sema’ rituals.
