March 17 is recognized as "Flia Day" in which families invite their relatives for preparing and eating flia.[4]

Flija requires very simple ingredients: flour, water, butter, yogurt, eggs, oil and salt.[5] The main ingredients (flour, water and salt) are mixed together until they become like pancake batter. Layers of batter are baked using a saq which is a spherical metal lid used for baking.
