Explain us a bit more please, i'm curious too, what special things are you doing to celebrate this ?

have a nice time!

its strange my friend who's iranian never mentioned this. must have some words.

lol. enjoy your day!!!

thank u!

well, about the things we do, first to mention is the new year is the first day of spiring, because its spring and its the day the earth comes back to life. and its called NOROOZ (means "New day")

for the new year we make a table called HAFT SEEN, its like the picture in my signature, here is avery good article about it that u can understand it:


Haft Seen: : The seven symbols


On the night before Norooz, the entire family gathers around a table (or spread) with an arrangement of several items, each of which symbolizes a wish or theme. Of all the items in this arrangement, seven of them, starting with the Farsi letter "seen" (the English "S"), must always be included.
The Farsi translation of number seven is "haft" -- hence the name Haft Seen.


The Haft Seen spread is usually put out a couple of weeks before the Norooz day and symbolizes the holiday season and its special mood very much like the Christmas Tree for the Western holidays. Zoroastrians celebrated the creation of life by offering their deity, Ahura Mazda, seven trays, full of symbolic objects representing truth, justice, good thoughts, good deeds, prosperity, virtue, immortality and generosity. The seven items starting with the letter "seen" in the contemporary Haft Seen are:


Samanu (a Persian snack made of flour and sugar)

Sekeh (coin)

Sabzee (green vegetables)

Sonbol (the hyacinth flower)

Seer (garlic)

Senjed (a dried fruit resembling that of the mountain-ash tree)

Serkeh (vinegar)


Other items often included with the Haft Seen are apples, sugar
cookies or pastries called Shirini, a mirror, candles, eggs, and a
bowl with goldfish. Looking at the goldfish at the turn of the year
is believed to bring good luck and fortune.

Happy New year Iran :D
