Nowrooz, also known as Iranian New Year, is the most important and widely celebrated holiday in Iran. It marks the beginning of spring and the first day of the Persian calendar. The celebration lasts for 13 days and is a time for family gatherings, feasting, and gift-giving.
The preparations for Nowrooz begin weeks in advance with a thorough cleaning of homes and buying new clothes. On the eve of Nowrooz, families gather around a table called Haft-Seen, which is decorated with seven items that start with the Persian letter "S." These items symbolize different aspects of life such as health, wealth, and happiness.
At the beginning of the new year, families exchange hugs and kisses and wish each other a happy new year.
Nowrooz is not only celebrated in Iran but also in other countries such as Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and parts of India. It is a time to celebrate new beginnings and hope for a prosperous year ahead.
