old turks separated year into two season.Summer begins 6th may and winter begins 8th nowember. 6th may is the beginning of the summer . it is named hıdırellez in Turkey.Various names in other turkic nations and some balkan nations. it is said that whatever you wish for on 5th may night, will come true.we write our wishes on small papers and we tie them to a rose branch. In the morning if it fell down ,it means the holy person of the night 'Hıdır' read the wish.(Actually if it is windy that night every wishes believed to be accepted).if you find your paper on the floor ,you have to bury it or throw it to the sea.And some people make little figures cars,house,baby:) what they want and put them outside.And another tradition is to jump over fire for good luck. On 6th may people meet with their friends neighbours and relatives and go to countryside,go picnics.
