Iran: the happy celebrations of the Persian New Year

Norouz (no, "new" + Rouz, "day", meaning "new day") has been celebrated for at least 3,000 years and is deeply rooted among the rituals and traditions of zoroastrism.Today, Norouz's feast is celebrated in many countries that have been territories or have been influenced by the Persian Empire: apart from Iran, we can cite Kurdistan, Afghanistan, parts of the parts ofMiddle East as well as in the former Soviet republics of Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.The party is also celebrated by the Zoroastrians Parsis and the Hindu of the Cashmere valley which call the Navreh party in India or the Salars, in the province of Qinghai, in China.

The Iranians are starting to prepare by doing a large "spring cleaning" in their homes, buy new clothes for the new year and buy flowers (real hyacinth and tulip are particularly popular).

In association with the rebirth of nature, spring cleaning is the national tradition followed by most households in Iran.The day of the New Year, families dress with their new clothes and then begin the celebrations of this period, by going to visit the elders, then to the rest of the family and finally to friends.On the 13th day, families leave their house and will picnic outside.

During the Norouz holidays, everyone is expected to visit (mainly limited to family, friends and neighbors) in the form of short visits to the house, which are generally followed by reciprocity.Typically, the first day of the year, family members meet at the table, on which the Haft Sîn are posed and await the exact moment of the new year.At that time, gifts are exchanged.Later in the day, young people visit the older ones.Many Iranians organize this day of major festivals bringing together everyone to be able to bring together the guests that come from afar.
