Cemre means “ember of fire; a piece of fire; coal in form of fire” in Arabic and defines warming up and the pile of stones thrown by Muslims at the Mount Mina during the pilgrimage.
In Anatolian folklore, Cemre is three fireballs that come from the heavens to warm earth at the end of each winter. Each cemre warms one aspect of nature.
Each cemre happens a week apart and heats one aspect of nature.
The first cemre falls to air between February 19–20. The second cemre falls to water between February 26–27. The third cemre falls to the ground between 5–6 March.
