Nowruz is the Persian New Year, and it’s one of the most important holidays in my family. We celebrate it every spring on the first day of the new year in the Iranian calendar. My mom says it’s about new beginnings, and I like that idea. Every year, we set up a table with seven things that start with the letter “S” in Persian. My favorit
Nowruz is the Persian New Year, and it’s one of the most important holidays in my family. We celebrate it every spring on the first day of the new year in the Iranian calendar. My mom says it’s about new beginnings, and I like that idea. Every year, we set up a table with seven things that start with the letter “S” in Persian. My favorite thing on the table is sabzeh. We also have a mirror, candles, and sometimes even a goldfish. Each item means something special. When the New Year begins, we all hug and say Happy New Year. Then we eat sweets! I love talking about Nowruz to my friends in class because I like how Nowruz helps me feel connected to my family’s culture.
