On 24 September 2021, staff members of Bolgar Museum-Reserve Sagirova L. Sh. and Vagapov R. Z. held an interactive theatrical event “Meeting a young family in Bolgar” prepared specially for meeting newlyweds on Bolgar land at the source “Gabdrakhman’s well”.
According to legends, the source appeared when one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad sahab Gabdrakhman touched the ground with his cane. Healing water helped the recovery of khan’s daughter. After this event, the khan and his confidants adopted Islam, and his daughter became the sahib’s wife.
On this legendary land, Bolgar khan and his wife met the newlyweds. Khan and khanbike welcomed and congratulated the young family in accordance with ancient Bolgar customs. The head of a new household received their first joint bread from the Khan’s hands, and his beautiful wife – bal-mai from the hands of khanbike. The newlyweds treated the guests with bread and bal-mai, and after that, their parents gave them instructions according to old Bolgar customs.
It is gratifying that on the verge of a birth of a new family, young people started their way with touching the historical past, traditions and customs of ancestors.
