Today is Fire Tuesday in Azerbaijan.
Fire Tuesday originates from the ancient people's beliefs in the sun and fire. According to the traditions and customs, on this day, a bonfire is set; people get rid of their sorrow and grief by jumping over it.
Since ancient times, fire has been the symbol of holiness in the mind of the Turks.
It is noteworthy that spring will enter Azerbaijan on March 20, 2020, at 07:49:36 Baku time.
It should be noted that this year, March 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 will be non-working days in the country due to Novruz holiday. Taking into consideration that March 21 and 22 overlap with days off, March 25 and 26 will also be considered non-working days.
