Nowruz is the Persian New Year, which typically falls on the first day of spring and is celebrated on March 21st. It is a time of renewal and rebirth, and is celebrated in Iran.
Nowruz has been celebrated for over 3,000 years and is a deeply ingrained cultural tradition in the region. The celebration typically lasts for 13 days and involves a variety of customs and rituals, including the cleaning of homes, the preparation of special meals, the exchange of gifts, and the gathering of friends and family.
Some of the most common customs associated with Nowruz include the setting of a Haft-Seen table, which is a symbolic display of seven items that represent different aspects of life and the natural world, such as sprouts, coins, and candles. Other customs include jumping over bonfires, visiting loved ones, and reciting poetry and prayers.
