On the occasion of the feast of Ashura, the Bektashi Dedelik of Korça has laid the traditional reception. High authorities, political representatives, leaders of religious communities in Korça, as well as others present took part in this reception in the premises of the Turan tekke.
The Bektashi World Leader, His Grace Haxhi Dede Edmond Brahimaj in his keynote address, among other things, said: “The Feast of Ashura is a seemingly simple ceremony, but irreplaceable for our Bektashi tradition… We fasted today after nine days of matem, we talked and followed together the tragic events of Qerrbela. We have remembered and recalled the sublime act of the 72 martyrs and the immortal knight Imam Husayn, peace be upon him. We have seen and talked about the extent to which the evil and human wickedness embodied can go in Yazid and Mavija. The curse of the Most High accompanies them and their followers! And our appeal remains, more kindness, peace, love and unity between people, regardless of race, color, idea or religion.
