Khoshaba Festival
The Khoshaba Festival is an annual celebration observed by the Assyrian community, primarily in the Middle East and among diaspora populations. It typically takes place in early November and honors the life of Saint Khoshaba, a revered figure in Assyrian Christianity. The festival includes religious ceremonies, cultural performances, and communal feasting, fostering a sense of unity and heritage among participants.
During the festival, attendees often wear traditional Assyrian clothing and engage in various activities that highlight their rich cultural history. Music, dance, and storytelling are integral parts of the celebration, allowing people to connect with their roots and pass down traditions to younger generations.
