**Setare said about Haft Sin

        What is shown in the photo is an Iranian custom that you will see in most of Iranian houses in Nowruz named Haft Sin.

        Haft Sin is a Persian clause which means 7 words started with S (of course in Persian) first one which is the blessing symbol is Green which we call 'Sabz' in Persian and you can see that grass is in the photo.

        we also put our holy book Quran and a book of a famous old Iranian poet named ''Hafez''' there which reading its poems by old members of the family before informing the start of the new year is somehow interpretatoin of a good luck. before the start of the new year the family gather around Haft Sin and  pray for a green and a blessing year. by the time the new year is informed the family kiss each other and the oldest member gives some money to kids named Eydi.. kids love it very much:)

** Reza asgharloo said:

        Nowruz is the most intelligent of Celebrating  "New Year" on the world, I do not state it because I'm Iranian and from my ego I want to state it.

Our fathers have chosen the best time for staring the new year, the time that winter is finished and cold weather turn into be get warmer. the time that flowers make blossom and trees and ground start to be green.
