Whirling dervishes at the Rumi Festival in Konya, Seb-i Arus, The Wedding Day
Every 17 December, the night of Mevlana's death, thousands of people from all around the world gather at the magnificent 13^th century Mevlana Mausoleum to celebrate Seb-i Arus, his 'Wedding Day', his reunion with his Beloved, with the Divine.

During his last hours, his wife pleaded with Mevlana to not leave and ask God to let him stay here a little longer. Mevlana's reply was thus:

Am I a thief?
Have I stolen someone's goods?
Is this why you would confine me here and keep me from being re-joined with my Love?
