Distinguishing calendars and practices
The poster gives Aşure Day as 18 June, while Diyanet’s 2027 list places Aşure Day, corresponding to 10 Muharrem, on 15 June. These dates should not be presented as the same calendar definition. For worship and shared-meal arrangements, follow the announcement of your own ocak or cemevi.
Commemorations and religious festivals are different kinds of observance. This publication does not announce tickets, meeting times or a confirmed event programme; local programmes are announced separately.
