Nowruz, or new day, is the first day of spring and the most cherished of all the Iranian festivals.
Tradition dates Nowruz as far back as 15,000 years ago and what we have today as Nowruz with its' uniquely Iranian characteristics has been celebrated for at least 3,000 years and is deeply rooted in the rituals and traditions of the Zoroastrian belief system in the Sassanid period.
Nowruz is also the beginning of the new year for Persians. This year, it will be in March 20,2008, 09:18:19 AM.
I wish you a new year, full of happiness and success.
