Zoroastrian Nowruz

Zoroastrian Nowruz is the traditional New Year celebration that marks the arrival of spring, rooted in ancient Persian customs and linked to Zoroastrian beliefs. Celebrated around March 21, it symbolizes renewal, purification, and the triumph of good over evil. The holiday involves cleaning homes, setting up a special table called Haft-Seen with symbolic items, and enjoying festive foods and family gatherings. It emphasizes renewal of life, moral reflection, and cultural heritage, serving as a spiritual and communal renewal rather than solely a date on the calendar.
