Holidays in Kyrgyzstan

• Holidays in Kyrgyzstan include many international holidays, like New Year’s and Women’s Days, some from the Soviet Union, such as Victory Day and Defenders of the Fatherland Day, and some since independence, such as various memorial days for revolutions. Some businesses will close for major holidays, but enough are open that visitors shouldn’t find any major inconveniences. Border stations and governmental offices may be closed, though, so one should check ahead to avoid major problems.

Kyrgyz traditions

• Customs and traditions in Kyrgyzstan were meant to help with the biggest transitions in life, and to provide order and meaning from birth to death. These traditions fit into the nomadic lifestyle, and were centered around the family. There are traditions for  childbirth  and for  death , as well as  weddings and married life , that defined life in Kyrgyzstan and are passed down and adapted to the modern day.
• Back when the Kyrgyz were nomads, birth was dangerous for both the mother and the baby. Midwives were essential to ensuring the health of the mother and baby, and precautions were taken to protect them from evil spirits. Despite the perilous process of giving birth, the new baby was a cause of joy, and there were several celebrations held for newborns.
