It is Nowruz in Iran!

155 महीने पहले

Nowruz is like our New year's eve, in Iran! You have to wear new clothing, wash your home/clean it and make the haft-sin table.

The word "Nowruz" is a compound of two Persian words, "now" which has the same etymology as the English word "new" and means new, and the word "ruz" which means both "day" and "time." Literally meaning the "new day," nowruz is usually translated as "new year." The Persian Nowruz begins on the first day of spring (usually the 21st of March). The 21st of March, therefore, is equal to the 1st day of Farvardin of the Islamic solar calendar.

The haft-sin (or the "Seven S's") is a deeply ingrained portion of Iranian Naw-Ruz celebrations. It is a table bearing seven traditional items starting with the letter "S".

Items that are on the haft-sin are:

Samanu - symbolizes influence

Sib – Apples, symbolizing beauty and health.

Sekka – Newly minted coins, symbolizing wealth.

Sir - Garlic cloves, symbolizing medicine.

Serka – Vinegar, symbolizing age and patience

Sepand - Seeds of wild rue, generally burned as incense.

Sabza - They symbolize renewal and are often disposed of in running water after the celebrations, taking with it the bad influences of the previous year

Other common items that may also be included on the table (or substituted for some of the items above): Solbol, Senjed, Somaq.

Additional common decorations of the haft-sin table not starting with the letter "S" include:

Candles, Mirrors to reflect candlelight, Colored eggs - representing the fertility of spring, A holy book appropriate to the religion of the table's creator
