Persian Ney Year is on its way!


Nourouz (or Persian New Year) is on its way. Iranians have celebrated the arrival of spring as their New Year for many centuries. As far as I know, Nourouz is one of the rare New Years that totally depends on nature and has nothing to do with a specific religion, culture or group. That is why I believe that we could all celebrate it. After all, it is mostly about renewal of life and a new beginning for Mother Nature and all livings.

If you would like to know exactly when Nourouz arrives in your region, use this link and select your region from the drop down menu. The top date and time is when you can join millions of Iranians and other people in the region (like Afghanis and tajiks that celebrate Nourous) to celebrate spring and Nourouz in the northern hemisphere simultaneously. Hope you can join us.

I can’t wait. There are many things that I need to do before Nourouz arrives. The first thing is spring cleaning. I am going to start from the kitchen today and work my way up through the house and hopefully finish in about 10 days. I best leave writing and get on with my cleaning, then.

You know Shahireh, there is at least on thing that both Chinese and Iranian will do in common on this spring occasion...a through clean up! Chinese make the clean three days before the festival. They will start with the windows, usually for many families, this is a once-a-year activities.By doing so, they could sweep out all bad luck and inviting a brand-new year.
