I AM BELIEF IN MARDİN

I am Mardin.I am freedom of Shemsith (who adores the sun), beauty of Kamerith (who adores the moon), the sunset of Yezidith (who adores Satan) and corporation of faiths.

I am Jewish neighborhood.

I am faith.

I am the bell of Kırklar church greeting the ezan(Islamic call for prayer) read by the Grand Mosque. I am the temple of men who have become partners in respect to believing in God for thousand years.

I am the unrelinquishable target on the Omer’s way, and a vow in the Sultan Şeyhmus.

I am Mardin, namely I am the faith itself. I am Hazer keeping the castle, drunkable water against scorpion biting and talisman of years against snakes. I am cookie distributed in mevlits(ceremony of prophet’s birthday annually commemorated) and incense in Deyruzzaferan…I am food feast in Ramadans(fasting months) and the friendly hostess in the Easters.

I am the last day land of Southeastern Anatolia.

I am faith….
