Nowruz is the day of the Spring equinox and it is the beginning of the year in the Persian calendar.

Celebrated by millions of people across various countries, it is a time for renewal, family gatherings and honoring traditions that have been passed down for over 3,000 years. The celebration includes rituals such as cleaning and decorating homes, preparing special foods and gathering around the Haft-Seen table, which symbolizes life and prosperity. When greeting someone who celebrates Norouz, you can say “Norouz Pirouz,” wishing them a prosperous and joyful new year.
