The Feast of Ghadir al-Hum was celebrated by burning bahur and prayers at the tombs in Harbiye in Hatay's Defne district. This holiday is commemorated by Arab Alawites and Shia Muslims as the day when Prophet Muhammad honored Prophet Ali on his return from the Farewell Pilgrimage. In Turkey, this holiday is mostly celebrated in provinces such as Hatay, Adana and Mersin, where Arab Alevis live in large numbers. One of the most important events of this holiday is the preparation and distribution of hrisi, a dish made by beating wheat and meat together in large cauldrons.
