A retired Egyptian artist left a message on the door of her house in the United States, addressed to her neighbors who were celebrating Halloween.
The artist Hanan Turk shared a video clip on her Instagram account that includes a group of messages printed on papers decorated with autumn colors, and placed them on a table in front of her door on the day of the “Halloween” celebration, which fell on October 31st.
“I sincerely apologize, but we do not celebrate Halloween,” Turk wrote in her letter. However, since you have come and visited my doorstep, I will open my doors to you tomorrow, from 5 to 7 p.m., with homemade pies and chocolate dessert.”
She added: “Your visit means a lot to me, and although I cannot provide any Halloween candy today, I am excited to share something special with you tomorrow.” Have a wonderful fall season.”
Hanan Turk had decided to retire and wear the hijab for the first time in 2006, but she returned in 2007 to participate in the series “Street Boys,” which was her first work after wearing the hijab. The final decision to retire was in 2012, after presenting the series “Sister Therese” and the movie “Al-Maslahah.”
Hanan Turk announced her retirement on the “Me and Honey” program presented by the Lebanese broadcaster Nishan. In 2018, Turk returned with a religious cartoon series in Ramadan called “The Messenger of God Believed,” which deals with the biography of Imam Al-Bukhari.
