Ezid Day, or Îda Êzî, is a major Yazidi festival honoring God (Êzî) and marking the creation of the earth, celebrated around the winter solstice, typically the first Friday on or after 14 December, following three days of compulsory fasting (Rojiyên Êzî) from sunrise to sunset, symbolising the sun's renewal and earth's beginning. It's a joyous occasion with feasting, music, dance, and family gatherings, marking the end of the fast and a turning point in the solar cycle.
