• Every nation has it traditions and holidays. My
  nation has own holidays and traditions too. We
  have holidays connected with our religion. The
  greatest of them is Kurban Bairam. It is
  celebrated 70 days after a Muslims fasting
  Ramadan. Kurban Bairam is a holiday of sacrifice
  (a Turkish word Kurban means sacrifice, and
  bairam means a holiday. The Koran, our sacred
  book, says that every Muslim should make a
  sacrifice of a lamb. He has the right to keep 1/3
  of the lamb for his family. All the rest of the
  meat should be divided into no less than 7 pieces
  and given to the poor. All Muslims are supposed
  to give alms during the holiday. Kurban Bairam is
  celebrated for three days. A special table is
  served for the holiday a lot of meat meals,
  stuffing, sweet biscuits shchaker-lame, tea,
  coffee. Tables should be laid from morning till
  night.

• Traditions play the most important role in the
  life of Nogaysh people. They are proud of their
  traditions and carefully keep them up. One of
  them is Sabantoy - the holiday, which lasts one
  day, to say thanks to the earth for the future
  food. The word sabantoy consists of two parts
  saban means the plough and toy means the
  holiday. People celebrate it in the beginning of
  spring. During this holiday we celebrate the
  kindest of the earth that will give us food. In
  old times people did their best. They made
  different competitions. Now during Sabantoy
  people do their best to show themselves in the
  competitions as in old time. Sabantoy is a
  joyful religious holiday. I am proud that our
  nation has its traditions and holidays and that I
  am a son of my nation, and I am very happy to be
  a part of the world.
