In the sanctuary of Lalish (the holiest site and religious center of Yazidism, which is located in the main settlement area of the Yazidis in northern Iraq), numerous lights are lit on the eve of the feast day and on the feast day. Women play an important role as guardians of the fire.
The Yazidi New Year (Kurmanji Sersal) is the Yazidi New Year and is also known as Çarşema Sor ("Red Wednesday"), Çarşema Serê Nîsanê ("First Wednesday in April"), Çarşema Sersalê or Çarşema Serê Salê ("Wednesday of the New Year"). The religious New Year, Sersal, does not fall on March 21 for the Yazidis like the Kurdish Newroz festival. It is celebrated every year on the first Wednesday in April according to the Yazidi/Julian calendar. As the Julian calendar lags the Gregorian calendar used in Germany by 13 days, the New Year is celebrated on the first Wednesday of Julian April, which falls on or after April 14, i.e. the second or third Wednesday in April in the Gregorian calendar.
The Çarşema Serê Salê is also celebrated in honor of Tausi-Melek, the head of the seven angels in Jesidentum: The supreme angel is at the center of the Yazidi faith because Tausi-Melek has consistently acknowledged the omnipotence of God and is therefore considered God's representative on earth. In Yazidism, the head of the angels is symbolized by a peacock.
Traditional dishes are prepared for the New Year and house entrances are decorated with colorful flowers and eggshells covered with earth.
