One of the most important celebrations in the Yazidi calendar is their New Year, known as Serê Sal (the Head of the Year). This annual festival is a time for the community to come together, reflect on the past year, and look forward to the future. Serê Sal is a time of joy, unity, and renewal, and it is celebrated with great enthusiasm and dedication. The history of Serê Sal dates back to ancient times, rooted in the Yazidi belief in Tawûsê Melek, the Peacock Angel. According to Yazidi mythology, Tawûsê Melek was tasked with overseeing the universe by God and is revered as a benevolent and wise figure.
