Assyrians from Alqosh commemorate Mar Mikha, who was one of the holy fathers of Alqosh. Alqoshnaye celebrate the Feast of Mar Mikha, known as 'Shara'd Mar Mikha' around the world. This event is celebrated through picnics or halls, like many other Shereh (Feasts). The 'St. Hirmized' group is an Alqosh association of Sydney which organises events which relate to their town. People from Alqosh, like many other Assyrian towns/villages wear their traditional clothing at these events which commemorate their patron saints and celebrate the history of their towns.
