Happy Chaharshanbe Suri – Light, Renewal & Joy!
Chaharshanbe Suri (چهارشنبه سوری) is an ancient Persian festival celebrated on the last Tuesday night before Nowruz (Persian New Year). The festival, known as the "Festival of Fire," is a time for purification, renewal, and welcoming the new year with positivity and good fortune.
Traditions of Chaharshanbe Suri:
🔥 Jumping Over Fire: People leap over small bonfires while chanting, "Zardi-ye man az to, sorkhi-ye to az man", which means:
"My paleness (sickness, bad luck) to you, your redness (energy, health) to me."
This symbolizes leaving behind negativity and embracing warmth, health, and happiness.
🎆 Fireworks & Celebrations: Fireworks, sparklers, and festive gatherings make the night lively and colorful.
🍲 Special Snacks: Traditional treats like Ajeel-e Chaharshanbe Suri (a mix of nuts and dried fruits) are enjoyed, symbolizing prosperity and good luck.
🕵️ Fortune Telling & Rituals: Some people practice Fal-Gush (listening to random conversations for omens) to predict their fortune in the new year.
Chaharshanbe Suri is not just a celebration of fire but a symbol of renewal, letting go of the past, and stepping into the new year with positivity and hope.
