The Arrival of New Year

رسیدن نوروز در ايران

 

When the clock strikes New Year all the members of the family in their clean and new

outfits gather around the Norouz table and Haftseen. The family begins the New Year

with a prayer for health, happiness and prosperity, usually along these lines:

"O Reformer of hearts and minds, Director of day and night and Transformer of

conditions, change ours to the best in accordance with Your will."

After theinitial celebration to welcome the New Year, the members of the family hug

and kiss each other, eat the bounties prepared for the New Year and wish each other

the best.

Then the oldest member of the family (usually the father) presents the Eidi

(New Year's gift) to younger members. The Eidi usually consists of new and unused

paper money that have been put between the pages of the Holy Quran.

Visiting relatives during Norouz is among other customs widely practiced.
Happy New Yeay.
