Persian New Year HistoryThe Persian New Year, or Nowruz, marks the advent of the New Year on the Persian calendar and the arrival of spring. This observance is part of Persian and Iranian heritage and spans more that 3000 years. It begins with the 'haft-seen' table, where seven items starting with the Persian letter 'S' are displayed, each symbolising a positive aspect such as love, rebirth, prosperity, and health. The roots of Nowruz date back to the ancient Persian Empire, where it was traditionally celebrated by diverse communities. This celebration gradually shaped into an important cultural festival and was registered on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009. For Australians of Persian descent, or those who have lived in Iran, Nowruz holds a special significance. It offers an opportunity to celebrate their rich cultural heritage and strengthen their connections with their ancestral homeland. In Australia, Nowruz is observed by the Persian community with great enthusiasm. Members of the community host get-togethers, where traditional Persian New Year delicacies are served, and cultural performances are held. Children often receive small gifts or 'eidi'. It provides a significant moment to teach the younger generations about their cultural roots. It's a time of year when a sense of renewal is in the air, mirroring the rebirth and fresh start signified by Nowruz in the ancient Persian tradition. Nowruz in Australia aligns with the vernal equinox, which usually falls around March 21. Facts about Persian New Year
