Hıdırellez

Hıdırellez (Hıdır + Ellez — the prophets Hızır and İlyas) is celebrated across Türkiye, the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia on the night of May 5th into May 6th, when winter and summer are said to meet.

One old custom: write your wish on a slip of paper and bury it at the roots of a rose tree, or tie it to a branch, or set it afloat on running water. When the wish comes true, you go back and dig it up.

Here, your wish is sealed in your browser with a password only you know — even the gardener can't read it. When it comes true, you can quietly dig it up alone, or reveal it to the garden so others can read what was once just a wish.
