In Turkey there are no festivals similar to our
November cheesecake, but the cemeteries
visit especially on the eve of the two most
important holidays - Ramadan Bayram and
Kurban Bayram.
Turkish cemeteries are specific. All the graves
lie exactly on the same axis. This is due to the
Islamic injunction that the deceased should
always be kept head to Mecca.
The gravestones are very simple, mainly a
stone plate with the name of the deceased and
the verses of the Koran.
Sometimes the graves are decorated with
carved plant motifs, there are also symbols of
the profession. It is not practiced to light
candles or bring flowers.
