📝 About Nowruz 2027
Nowruz, meaning 'New Day' in Persian, marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the year in the Iranian calendar, falling on or around the March equinox. Its roots stretch back over 3,000 years to Zoroastrian tradition, making it one of the oldest continuously celebrated holidays in human history. Families prepare a ceremonial table called Haft-sin, arranged with seven symbolic items whose names begin with the Persian letter sin, each representing values like rebirth, health, and prosperity. The two weeks of celebration include thorough spring cleaning, buying new clothes, visiting elders, and sharing festive meals featuring dishes such as sabzi polo (herbed rice with fish) and ash-e reshteh (noodle soup). Fire-jumping on Chaharshanbe Suri, the last Tuesday before Nowruz, is another beloved ritual. Nowruz is observed by over 300 million people across Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Kurdish communities, among others. UNESCO inscribed it on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009.
