Nowruz is the Iranian New Year also known as the Persian New Year, which is celebrated worldwide by various ethno-linguistic groups. Despite its Iranian and Zoroastrian origins, Nowruz has been celebrated by diverse communities.
Shab-e Yaldā ("Yalda night") is an Iranian festival celebrated on the "longest and darkest night of the year,"that is, in the night of the Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice. Calendarically, this corresponds to the night of December 20/21 (±1) in the Gregorian calendar, and to the night between the last day of the ninth month and the first day of the tenth month of the Iranian civil calendar.The longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry (especially Hafez) until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and glow of life. The poems of Divan-e-Hafez, which can be found in the bookcases of most Iranians families, are intermingled with peoples' life and are read or recited during various occasions like this festival and at Nowruz.
Congratulations to everyone celebrating Nowruz, the Persian New Year including some members of my family.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy the Spring weather. Hopefully we can be vaccinated soon. #BeKind
