Pir Ali (Yazidi saint) explained
Pir Ali (also written as Pirali) is a holy person in the Yazidi religion. The Çelka Yazidis celebrate the Batizmi festival in his honor.[1] [2]
Pir Ali is also considered to be the incarnation of Melek Taus (Tawusî Melek).[3]
According to Yazidi tradition, Pir Ali came to the Yazidi villages of Tur Abdin and performed miracles there. He is said to have brought a cow that had already been slaughtered and cut into seven parts back to life and thus convinced the Yazidis of his abilities.[4]
