Nowruz, also known as Persian New Year, is an ancient festival marking the beginning of spring and the new year on the solar calendar. It is celebrated by over 300 million people worldwide, particularly in the Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East, and other regions.

Nowruz has a rich history dating back over 3,000 years, with evidence of its celebration found in ancient Persian Empire, Zoroastrian, and Sufi traditions. It is a time for renewal, rebirth, and new beginnings, symbolized by the arrival of spring and the vernal equinox.

Nowruz typically begins at the stroke of the vernal equinox, which usually occurs on March 20 or 21. Celebrations vary across countries, but common practices include:

Setting up a ceremonial table, known as Haft-Seen, adorned with seven items starting with the letter “S” in Persian, representing spring and renewal.
Family gatherings and feasting on traditional foods, such as sabzi polo (herbed rice) and kookoo sabzi (herbed frittters).
Visiting with loved ones, exchanging gifts, and sharing stories.
Participating in traditional activities, such as jumping over small fires or bonfires, symbolizing purification and renewal.
