1. Nowrouz, Iranian New Year,
begins on the first day of spring
That is usually on March 20th or
21st
2. On Nowrouz, Iranians:
• Make sure the house is totally clean
• Prepare for receiving guests with sweets,
fruit, tea and dry roasted nuts
• Wear new clothes
• Visit relatives and give each other gifts
• Eat “sabzi polo” rice with herbs and “mahi”
fish
• The most important thing is to forget the
old grudges
3. Do try Sabzi polo Mahi if you are
near a Persian restaurant
4. Iranians also set a “hafsin” during Nowrouz:
a table which has seven items with names
that begin with letter “s”
25. Nowrouz means “a new day”
When Iranians see each
other on Nowrouz,
they say:
Sadsaal be in saalha
literally:
May you see a hundred
years like this one!
