In addition to these, there are several religious holidays. The dates on which
these occur vary, as they are related to the month of fasting, Ramazan, which
is calculated according to the Lunar calendar. Seker Bayram, or the Sugar Festival,
takes place at the end of Ramazan and continues for three days. Kurban Bayram
occurs two months after the Seker Bayram, and lasts for four days. |
