Persian New Year, known as Nowruz, is celebrated on the vernal equinox, marking the first day of spring. This ancient festival has roots in Zoroastrianism and symbolizes renewal and rebirth. Families gather to celebrate with various traditions, including cleaning their homes, visiting loved ones, and preparing special meals. A key element of Nowruz is the Haft-Seen table, which features seven symbolic items starting with the Persian letter "S." Each item represents different hopes for the new year, such as health, wealth, and prosperity. The celebration lasts for about two weeks, filled with joy, cultural activities, and family gatherings.
