Nowruz Explained

In short Nowruz is a fantastic 2-week celebration of rebirth and renewal with Iranian, zoroastrian origins, AKA the Persian New Year. It has been celebrated since nearly 3000 years ago until today by more than 300M people. As is fitting for Persian and Zoroastrian culture, the ceremonies surrounding Nowruz center on community, family, and a deep respect for tradition. Beyond those, Nowruz is about closing one chapter and turning the page to the next one with hope and joy. It’s about the excitement of endless possibilities that come with a blank slate. This could be why Nowruz has survived and thrived through generations and cultures. Who doesn’t want to celebrate the renewal of nature, a new beginning, and a brand new chance to live life?
