Mesir Paste (Mesir Macunu in Turkish) tradition is a very old tradition in the history of Manisa, an Anatolian city in the Aegean region, dating back to almost 500 years. Mesir paste was started as a medicine invention during the Ottoman period but later on it became an important part of local festivity in this city.
According to the story about the origins of Mesir paste; Ayse Hafsa Sultan, who was the wife of Yavuz Sultan Selim and the mother of Suleyman the Magnificent, after her placement from Crimea to the Ottoman Harem in the 16th century, became very ill after the death of her husband. Unfortunately doctors couldn't find a cure thus Sultan Suleyman consulted Merkez Muslihiddin Efendi, the head of the theological school belonging to the Yavuz Selim Mosque. He was already making medicines using herbs and spices for the sick people and built a small sort of hospital next to the school. After receiving Suleyman's letter regarding his ill mother, he mixed 41 different types of plants and spices together to form a medicinal paste and sent it to the Palace.
When Hafsa Sultan ate this paste, she recovered and wanted to share this miraculous medicine with others. As requests from the people increased, the Sultan told Merkez Efendi to distribute the paste to the people every year in a form of a festivity. For this, 22nd of March was selected because it symbolized the beginning of Spring, and the tops of the Sultan Mosque's domes and minarets were chosen for its location. The Mesir Celebration
25
began this way in around 1527-28. Since then, every year on or around March 21st thousands of people gather in front of the Sultan Mosque to catch the Mesir Paste wrapped in paper and thrown from mosque?s rooftop. In 2006, 466th Mesir Macun International Festival was held on March 26th, Sunday. (http://www.allaboutturkey.com/suleyman.htm).
