Likewise, the Yazidi religion believes that God is the one who breathed life into the earth on Wednesday, a day of the resurrection of creatures.
And since the Yazidis have lost most of their religious heritage as a result of the constant invasions and massacres, they derive their information from religious hadiths, as it came in "Aferna dinyayê".
Xwedawendê me înê kir esase
Şemî boyê berê kirase
Çarşem boyê kir xilase
Our Lord began creating the universe on Friday, and on Saturday, He began to tailor the robe "ordering everything", and finished his work on Wednesday.

Wednesday this year passes, in light of continuous resistance by the Yazidi community to the policies, after the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Iraqi government reached an agreement regarding administrative and security matters in the district of Şengal on October 9, 2020 without referring to the Yazidi community, the Yazidis adhere to their administration And their will in all ways.
More than 130 days ago, the Yazidis took turns in sengal in front of the Asayiş Ezîdxan center, to emphasize their support for the forces that protected them, after the Kurdistan Democratic Peshmerga and the Iraqi army left them vulnerable to ISIS massacres.
The Yazidi community believes that what ISIS mercenaries could not do to erase the Yazidi culture and religion during their targeting of Şengal, the parties to the agreement try to implement it and make the Yazidis are once again in the crosshairs of the firmans and the continuous extermination, without having a legitimate force to protect them.
Head of the Yazidi Religion Department at the Faculty of Religious Sciences at the University of Rojava Kurdistani (Western Kurdistan) Nassim Shamo says that the Yazidi religion indicates that the universe was a dark and fog, and covered with ice, and God sent a “peacock, the king” on Wednesday to the earth in order to find Life in it, by the order of God in the form of a peacock, and descended for the first time in Lalish
The most sacred place of the Yazidis, which is located in the Sheikhan area of Southern Kurdistan, and because of of ice, the Peacock King landed on the Harar tree, (the tree of the Lord's glory), and by the power of the Creator the ice melted by an act of the sun's heat, and the face of the earth was adorned with a suit of flowers and roses in various colors, red, yellow and green, so this day was considered the beginning of spring, and the Yazidi New Year.
According to scholars, until 612 BC, the Kurds celebrated this day as a religious holiday only, but after Kurdistan was watered on this day with the blood of the Kurdish people who achieved victory over the most powerful empires of that period - as on this day they took place An attack on the Kurdish empire of Mîdya - This holiday has become a national and religious holiday at the same time, so that Sheikh “Adi bin Musafir al-Hakkari”, a religious reference for the Yazidis and his mausoleum in Lalish, accepted that.

ŞêxAdî, şêx Şims xweste dîwanê
Xwedê berê xwe dide Êzdîxane
Ewe cejna Kurdistanê
