Persians celebrate New Year at the moment that Spring arrives. In Portland the time will be 9:15 a.m., Tuesday, March 20th. This custom goes back at least 3,000 years and there are rituals that accompany the new year. Many symbols are used to celebrate rebirth, fertility, sweetness of life, health and beauty, love, good health, patience and age.
We wish you all a Happy Nowruz and we welcome the beauty of Spring.
