The
Pilgrimage Ritual at Cretan Bektashis: The Tekke
of Horasanlı Ali Baba
This study aims at revealing the pilgrimage rituals of
the Bektashis having emigrated from Crete to Mersin. The most important
visiting place for the Cretan Bektashis living in Turkey is the tekke of Horasanlı Ali Baba. Being
currently situated in the place called ‘sultan’ or ‘tekke’at the district of Reşadiye in Tarsus, the grave of Horasanlı
Ali Baba is regarded as a center of belief for all the Cretan Bektashis in
Turkey. As a historical figure, Horasanlı Ali Baba is accepted to be among the
colonizing Turkish dervishes besides his undeniable efforts towards the spread
of Islam to the island of Crete. Horasanlı
Ali Baba went to Crete in 1055 AH as having been appointed
as the head of the band that Vahdeti Dede of Didymoteicho, the postnişin of Pir Evi, arranged for the Cretan expedition, and took part in
Ottoman army during the conquests of Chania (Hanya), Heraklion(Kandiye) and
Rethymno(Resmo). Having founded a small lodge in the village Voni (Dedeler) in
1057 AH, Horasanlı Ali Baba inaugurated a large lodge, also referred as the Horasanlı derhagı, in 1060 AH in
Heraklion and proceeded the activities of irşad.
He departed the earthly life in 1082 AH. Having been adopted to be the Bektashi dervish
introducing Bektashi order into Crete, Horasanlı Ali Baba went on irshad at the dergah of Horasanlı till he passed away in 1082 AH. His relics were
placed in a coffin by Cafer Sadık Bektaş Baba having been immigrated as another
Cretan Bektashi into Turkey in 1924, and were buried in the tekke which is currently visited. The
Cretan Bektashis make a vow to the tekke
of Horasanlı Ali Baba for such reasons as getting rid of any illness, having
children, avoiding accidents and calamities, expressing gratitude. It has been
also observed that the Cretan Bektashis in the research field of us make vows
to the tekke of Horasanlı Ali Baba at Nawruz, Hıdırellez, Aşura Day after Muharram fast and feast of sacrifice. It
has been observed that the lodge of Horasanlı Ali Baba
is visited not only by the immigrant Cretan Bektashis but also other Cretan Bektashis
living in such cities as Antalya, Aydın, İzmir, Manisa, Ankara and Istanbul.
The cults emerging with the visits of the lodge Horasanlı Ali Baba are
ancestors cult and vow. Horasanlı Ali Baba is defined as God by the immigrant
Cretan Bektashis. It has been concluded that Horasanlı Ali Baba is a sacred
charismatic personality who supplies child to those without any children, and
cures the diseased and protect from all the dangers. In other words, Horasanlı
Ali Baba seems to be a heroic ancestor securing the community of immigrant
Cretan Bektashi.
