In the heart of Ezidi tradition, light is sacred. Each year, Ezidis light 365 candles—one for every day—illuminating the world with blessings of hope, health, and spiritual renewal.
This profound ritual, is more than a ceremony—it is a prayer in light. As each candle is lit, it carries the wishes and intentions of an entire community, offering gratitude for the days passed and invoking blessings for the days to come.
Fire and the sun hold a central place in the Ezidi faith. They are symbols of divine presence, of life without end. Lighting candles in their honor connects the physical world to the eternal, reminding all who witness or partake that every day is a gift and every light, a sacred spark of the divine.
In this act of devotion, Ezidis do not just mark time—they sanctify it. Each flame becomes a guardian of the day it represents, ensuring that the light of the divine reaches every corner of the year.
