Happy Nowruz

Nowruz translates to βnew dayβ and is the epitome of a new year.
Iranians all over the world celebrate a fresh beginning with several festivities held throughout the month. Some include visiting family, giving money to children, jumping over a fire, and even having a picnic with loved ones to conclude the festivities. π§Ί
Amongst the most popular tradition is setting up a Haft Sin table on a sofreh where items starting with the letter, SΓn, also known as, the letter S, (Ψ³) are placed. We even have goldfish! π₯ πͺ π
Every family creates a setup with their own touch, creativity, and love.
Haft Sin displays are also often seen at Iranian weddings in hopes of commencing the newlywed's marriage in bliss. I am grateful to have had many versions of the sofreh, all thanks to my Mom.
This year feels very different, but the dream for brighter days has never been stronger.
From my family to yours... happy new day.
