For Kazakh people, Nauryz is considered the New Year — a celebration of the revival of all living things after the cold winter. Nomadic peoples began celebrating this holiday long before they embraced Islam.
Nauryz brings together hopes for the future, the joy of the end of winter, hopes for love, the beginning of new life and a bountiful harvest, the warmth of the sun, and the smiles of those around us — symbolically reflected in the seven ingredients of Nauryz kozhe.
