As Muslim / Sunni, Turk-Muslim / Alawi, Arab-Muslim / Sunni, Arab-Muslim / Alawi, Arab-Christian, Armenian and Jewish people have lived together for hundreds of years in the area, Circassia’s who took shelter in Anatolia, Turks who had been persecuted in Bulgaria and emigrated from Bulgaria coming to Turkey, Turks who had emigrated from Greece coming from Greece to Turkey after the exchange of Greece, the Kazakh Turks who escaped from Kazakhstan in 1950s and had taken shelter to Turkey were also settled in Çukurova. This colorful belief texture has also made the cultural texture colorful.

The study that is held on this geography where beliefs live in peace has been prepared by focusing more on the less known of the days celebrated and remembered in the region.
