Nauryz Meyrami, also known as Nauryz, is one of the most significant and widely celebrated festivals in Kazakhstan. It marks the arrival of spring and the renewal of nature. Nauryz is celebrated on March 21st, the day of the spring equinox, and is a public holiday in Kazakhstan. The festival has its roots in ancient Persian culture and has been celebrated by various ethnic groups in the region for centuries.

During Nauryz, people engage in various traditional activities and customs. One of the central features of the festival is the setting up of a special table called "dastarkhan" which is adorned with traditional dishes and treats. It is believed that the dishes on the dastarkhan represent abundance and prosperity for the year ahead. Some of the traditional dishes include "nauryz kozhe," a special soup made from seven ingredients symbolizing the seven elements of life, and "baursak," a deep-fried bread often shaped in the form of a crescent or a spiral.

Another important tradition during Nauryz is the game of "Kokpar," a traditional Kazakh sport which involves horse-mounted players competing to secure a goat carcass. This game is not only a display of skill and strength but also a symbol of unity and cooperation among the participants.

=== Kurban Ait ===
* Құрбан Айт - 1


Kurban Ait, also known as Eid al-Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice, is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. In Kazakhstan, Kurban Ait is an important festival observed by the Kazakh Muslim community. It commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
* Қазақстан халқының бірлігі күні - 3


During Kurban Ait, Muslims gather for prayer and participate in the ritual sacrifice of an animal, usually a sheep or a cow. The meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts: one part is kept for the family, one part is given to relatives and friends, and the remaining part is donated to the less fortunate. This act of sharing and giving is an important aspect of Kurban Ait and reflects the values of compassion and generosity.
=== Exercise 6: Cultural Reflection ===


In addition to the religious rituals, Kurban Ait is also a time for families to come together and celebrate. People dress in their finest traditional clothes and visit relatives and friends. Special meals are prepared, and traditional Kazakh dishes such as "plov" (pilaf) and "beshbarmak" (a dish made with boiled meat and pasta) are enjoyed by all.

Independence Day is a significant national holiday in Kazakhstan, celebrated on December 16th each year.
