March 14 - holiday “Korisu kuni”

14 march, 2024

March 14 is Korisu kuni, the day of greeting and paying homage to elders, as well as the first celebration of the onset of spring. Translated from the Kazakh language, literally "korisu" means "to see" or "meeting".On this day, it is customary to visit each other and congratulate them on the arrival of spring. In ancient times, it was on this day that Kazakhs, who led a predominantly nomadic lifestyle, after long cold winter nomads went to visit neighboring villages to make sure that everyone had survived the winter safely, find out how things were going and exchange steppe news.

   

In this regard, students of the Department of Biophysics, Biomedicine and Neuroscience congratulated teachers and students of the department on the holiday "Korisu Kuni" and treated them to traditional Kazakh treats.
