This year, the first cemre will fall into the air on February 19-20, the second into water on February 26-27, and the third into the soil on March 5-6.
As the cold days of winter fade, cemre, meaning "ember" or "glowing coal," is believed to warm the air, water, and soil in succession, signaling the transition to spring.
