Kepce Gelin Tradition

There is an old but funny tradition in Manisa Sarigol in Turkey which was kept for centuries called “Kepce Gelin”.

Children visit homes by saying songs and making sounds with the aluminum boxes and other strange stuff. The houseowners make them wet by water hoses. It is accepted as a type of Rain Prayer and blessings for the people living there to get more rain for their vegetable, fruits,wheat and corn fields. Anyway, children like it :) )
