Contemplation of martyrdom on snow in martyrdom
On Saturday, December 25, the scouts set out for the Fırıntepe Martyrdom, where our soldiers froze to death. The scouts, who reached the martyrdom by walking for 2.5 hours on snow-covered paths, practiced “contemplation of martyrdom” for 5 minutes, lying on their backs on the snow and closing their eyes, deployed in a circle around the martyrdom. The scouts, who returned to the campsite on the same road, participated in the mawlid and hatim prayer program held at Kaynakyayla Mosque after the night prayer.
They slept in tents in sleeping bags
The scouts, who spent the night in a sleeping bag in the tent in conditions where the temperature reached -30 degrees Celsius, had an important experience in understanding the difficulties faced by the martyrs.
