The natural spring water referred to as "Aksu," located in the Ketenler neighborhood of Kirazcık village in the Taşköprü district of Kastamonu, is attracting significant interest from citizens.
IT IS BELIEVED TO FLOW WHEN PRAYED FOR
The spring water, located in a forested area, is believed to start flowing 15 to 20 minutes after a prayer is made. The water, thought to flow after a prayer, continues to flow vigorously for about half an hour.
EVERYONE IS SEEKING HEALING IN THIS WATER
Those who wish to find healing wash their bodies in the bathing cabin built next to the area where the water flows. It is believed that the water they drink and wash with helps alleviate pain and illnesses in the body.
"SOME PEOPLE PRAY BUT THE WATER DOES NOT FLOW"
Kirazcık Village headman Celal Kabaoğlu stated that it is believed the water flows when the prayer of the person seeking healing is accepted, saying, "This is our water in the Ketenler neighborhood. This is a certain type of shrine. The water that flows from here comes to those who are loved and does not come to those who are not. Some people pray, but the water does not flow. Today, our water flowed. If the intention is accepted after half an hour of praying, the water comes, but if the intention is not accepted, it does not come. In August, the water sometimes does not flow at all, but it flows in the spring season. Our water is warm and healing. Anyone who wants to wash their hands or feet or take a shower can come here. We have a cabin for taking a shower here," he said.
"PEOPLE COME FROM ALL CITIES INCLUDING ANKARA AND ISTANBUL"
Kabaoğlu, who said they pray for healing at the water's edge, stated, "We pray with intention. The water flows according to what we intend. We pray for whatever intention comes to our heart. We made our prayer, our water flowed, thank God we are happy. This water flows continuously for about 20 to 30 minutes. After that, it stops, and this place becomes completely dry. When the water does not flow, it will not come even if you wait by it until evening. The water does not come for every person. Many people come here. There are people coming from all cities, including Ankara and Istanbul. Those who know this water come. They come and visit the water just like us, bringing those who do not know, introducing it, and leaving," he said.
