Nowruz is one of the greatest feasts in Iran. It is during the beginning of spring and the first day of spring is in fact the first day of the year in Iranian calendar.
We celebrate first 13 days of new year and pay a visit to almost whole family members, relatives & friends to congratulate new year and renew friendships.
The meetings first start with visiting elderly i.e grandparents; An effective tradition which links folks together.
The first 5 days are public holiday. For student, educational systems and most of private companies the whole 13 days are off.
One of the most amazing thing is the changes that happen in the nature within these days. When you are back to work/school after these two weeks, you can find so many changes in the nature. The lifeless trees and plants grow green and you can see buds and blooms everywhere. I love this shifting character of nature.
Vitality and vibrance are spread in both the human life and nature and you can completely feel the freshness and passion in everyone to once again start a new year.
