Persian New Year goes on for thirteen days and starts on the first day of Spring. There are a lot of celebrations for Persian New Year. A few days before New Year, Persians light a big fire to jump over, saying: zardi e man as tou, sorkhe e tou as man, which means: I give my yellowness and illness to the fire, and in return the fire gives me it's light and energy and good things. This is to refresh your spirit and cleanse you for the New Year.
They also set out a table full of different things, including: 2 goldfish, vinegar, Hycenth and much, much more!
They also decorate eggs and then drop them in a river.
This is a time to spend with your family. Persians usually have lot's of family too! Adults often give the people and children that are younger than them money.
This is a great celebration!
