Norooz<br />
( "New Day") is the name of the<br />
Iranian New Year,<br />
also known as the Persian and<br />
Kurdish New Year, is celebrated by<br />
Iranian peoples worldwide as the<br />
beginning of the new year. It has<br />
been celebrated for over 3,000<br />
years in the Balkans, the Black Sea<br />
Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia,<br />
and the Middle East.It marks the<br />
first day of the month of Farvardin<br />
in the Iranian calendar.<br />
Nowruz is the day of the<br />
astronomical vernal equinox (or<br />
northward equinox), which marks<br />
the beginning of the spring in the<br />
northern hemisphere and usually<br />
occurs on <strong>March</strong> 21 or the<br />
previous/following day depending<br />
on where it is observed. The<br />
moment the sun crosses the<br />
celestial equator and equalizes<br />
night and day is calculated exactly<br />
every year and families gather<br />
together to observe the rituals.<br />
Although having Persian and<br />
religious Zoroastrian origins,<br />
Nowruz has been celebrated by<br />
people from diverse ethnic<br />
communities and religious<br />
backgrounds for thousands of<br />
years. It is a secular holiday for<br />
most celebrants that is enjoyed by<br />
people of several different faiths,<br />
but remains a holy day for<br />
Zoroastrians.<br />
Origin<br />
Nowruz is p<strong>art</strong>ly rooted in the<br />
religious tradition of Iranian<br />
religions such as Zoroastrianism or<br />
even older in tradition of Mitraism<br />
because in Mitraism festivals had a<br />
deep linkage with the sun light. The<br />
Persian festivals of Yalda (longest<br />
night) and Mehregan (autumnal<br />
equinox) and Tiregān (longest day)<br />
also had an origin in the Sun god<br />
(Surya). Among other ideas,<br />
Zoroastrianism is the first<br />
monotheistic religion that<br />
emphasizes broad concepts such as<br />
the corresponding work of good<br />
and evil in the world, and the<br />
connection of humans to nature.<br />
Zoroastrian practices were<br />
dominant for much of the history of<br />
ancient Persia (modern day Iran &<br />
Western Afghanistan
