Nowruz, the first day of the solar year, corresponding to Farvardin 1, is the celebration of the beginning of the Persian New Year and one of the oldest celebrations left over from ancient Iran. Nowruz originated in ancient Iran and is celebrated in large parts of Asia and other parts of the world. Nowruz is celebrated at the vernal equinox and at the beginning of spring.

Haft Sin Table

One of the most important customs and traditions of Iranian Nowruz, from the past to the present, is the setting of the Haft Sin table, each of which has a specific meaning and concept. Even today, Iranians prepare the Haft Sin table a few hours before the New Year, and place food items that begin with Sin on the table, such as Senged, Sabzeh, Samno, Serke (Vinegar), Sib(apple), Sumaq, and Sir(garlic). Each of the components of Haft Sin symbolizes concepts such as growth, birth and fertility, abundance and blessing.

With the advent of Islam in Iran, the table of the Iranians was decorated with the Holy Quran.
