Circassian day

Circassian day
Day of the Adygs (Circassians) (Kabardian-Circassian Adygehem (Sherdzheskhem) I Mahue) - September 20 - a public holiday of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.
Day of Adygs (Circassians) September 20 is a public holiday of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. It has been celebrated annually since 2014 and is a non-working day in the republic.
September 20 falls on the period when the Circassians celebrated the end of agricultural work. One grain crop - millet - was harvested, and the corn began to be harvested. On this day (in Kabardian it is called “Tkhelelu”) rituals of worship of deities - patrons of agricultural work were performed.
The holiday is intended to serve as an incentive for strengthening ties and further consolidating the Adyghe (Circassian) ethnos, most of which currently live outside their historical homeland, as well as strengthening the unity of the peoples of Kabardino-Balkaria
