Haft Sin – هفت سین
Haft Sîn or the seven 'S's is a major tradition of Norouz. The haft sin table includes seven items specific starting with the letter S or Sîn. The items symbolically correspond to seven creations and holy immortals protecting them.

Last Wednesday was the Iranian New Year, or Norooz. This is a shot I took of our Haft Sin table, which was set up with the limited supplies that I had! The table is still missing some of the elements.
For those interested, the dark reddish powder is sumac. The dark brown grains are called 'Esphand', which comes from the Harmal family of plants, also know as Syrian Rue.
