Xızır in the form of an immediate savior. Is the saving hand of Xızır that appears when the shepherd sees no way out.
Here, Xızır himself acts directly as a shepherd. When a shepherd (Şıvan or Gavan) is helpless in the mountains, facing an abyss or a storm, he calls upon Xızır. In that moment, Xızır becomes the 'Shepherd of Shepherds' and physically overcomes the obstacle. Here, Xızır is not just a guide, but the actual savior. | Xızırê Gavanu [din.] [mit.] |
