Iranian holidays are rich in cultural and historical significance, reflecting the country's diverse heritage. One of the most important celebrations is Nowruz, the Persian New Year, which marks the arrival of spring and is celebrated on the vernal equinox. Families gather to clean their homes, prepare special meals, and visit friends and relatives during this festive time. Another notable holiday is Yalda Night, celebrated on the longest night of the year. Families come together to share stories, read poetry, and enjoy seasonal fruits, particularly pomegranates and watermelons. This tradition symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and the arrival of longer days.
