Nowruz

If you think about it, celebrating the new year on the first day of spring makes way more sense. Let's learn about Nowruz, the Persian New Year.

Another recipe says to push on the heap of herbs with the back of a spoon and you’ll see a green oil released. 3. You don’t have to get all the meat super brown, because it will get too tough, and it will finish cooking in the crockpot anyway. You can find these at a Middle Eastern/Indian market or from Amazon. I use them sparingly: cut one open (be careful) and scrape out some of the preserved pith and toss that in. 5. Put the herbs in a separate pan with a tablespoon or so of oil. I think back on all the Nowruz celebrations I can remember and how they’re filled with loved ones and amazing food, and I reflect on how lucky I am – this year, especially. As an adult, I gather my friends and neighbors in the waning light of the last Tuesday before Nowruz. We get a fire going in my building’s fire pit, and then we jump over it. If there’s not a layer of oil from the mingled flavors glistening on top of the gormeh sabzi after it has simmered away in a crockpot for at least six hours, I don’t want it. I like a healthy mix of all the fun stuff. (I never do the goldfish because I don’t want to forget about it until it’s floating upside down – death is, like, the opposite of Nowruz.) The most special of the Nowruz rituals is that of setting your "sofreh haft seen." According to a myth that transcends geography, eggs will balance vertically only on the vernal equinox – the first day of spring – which is the day the new year is celebrated, falling on Sunday, March 20, this year. You’re also supposed to greet the new year by purchasing and wearing all new clothes.

After waiting two long years, members of Manitoba's Iranian community are finally celebrating Nowruz — Persian New Year — in person.

"Nowruz is not only about the renewal of the environment, it is associated with its virtues and values," Arianpour said. "I think everyone can feel the renewal of nature." "Especially the last two years, we were dealing with so many sad or bad things, including COVID," he said. Everybody was happy and we danced a lot together without masks," said Zhaleh Parsaei, who attended the celebration organized by the Iranian Community of Manitoba on Saturday night. It's also known as Novroz in the Ismaili Muslim tradition and Naw-Rúz in the Bahá'í faith. This made this year's Nowruz celebration even more special for us," he said.

Having made it through the pandemic, Nowruz celebrations are back in full swing and will continue for several days and nights this week.

Every year before Nowruz, on the eve of the last Wednesday of the year, Iranians kick off celebrations with Chaharshanbeh Suri, or “Wednesday Light”. This year marks the first time celebrations were able to return to full strength, two years after the coronavirus pandemic swept the world in spring 2020. Nowruz celebrations have taken place across Iran on Sunday, after two years of cancelled or muted celebrations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
