Nouruz is an ancient Persian celebrations that marks the beginning of Spring and the Persian new year. Nowruz means new day in Farsi, symbolizing the renewal of nature and the start of a cycle.

The celebration takes place around march 21st when day and night are of equal length.
Besides of the food taking an important place in this celebration, one of the main tradition is the “haftsin” table which symbolizes different aspects of life and prosperity. The haftsin table usually includes these elements:

• Sabzeh (a wheat or lentils sprouts), representing rebirth and growth. 
• Samanu (a sweet pudding), symbolizing affluence and fertility
• Senjd (dried fruits of the lotus three), representing love and beauty 
• Seer (garlic), representing health and medicine 
• Seeb (apple), symbolizing beauty and health 
• Somagh (sumac), signifying the color of the sunrise and the victory of light over darkness 
• Serke (vinegar), symbolizing age and patience 

Mirrors, colored eggs, coins and flowers are also included to this traditional table.

Today, Nowruz is celebrated with various customs that traveled through space and time. Visiting family, exchanging gifts, spring cleaning (yes, yes!) but most importantly: Feasts!
