Happy Nowrouz

By Hasse-Nima Golkar

ANY JOYOUS AND HAPPY OCCASION ESPECIALLY NOWROUZ CELEBRATIONS IS A POISONOUS AND DEADLY SPEAR DIRECTED TOWARD THE HEART OF THE FASCIST SHIA ISLAMIC CALIPHATE SYSTEM IN IRAN!

Nowrouz is a folk festival that consists of a combination word “New+ Day”, and marks the first day of spring – Spring Equinox – and the beginning of the new year in the Iranian calendar, which takes place annually between March 20-21.

“The spring equinox occurs when the center of the solar disk crosses the boundary between the southern and northern hemisphere. It is not a day, but an instant event that occurs at a specific time at different times in different places on earth, depending on the time zone you are in”.

This instant time happens this year on Sunday, March 20, 2022, when the clock strikes at exactly 19:03:26 Iran Time and 16:33:26 Central European Time. Thus, from exactly, the twenty-sixth second, the first day of the Iranian New Year begins, which by cultural-political view is calculated differently by some Iranians. The “official” year in today of Iran is a solar calendar 1401.

The historical root of Nowrouz is unknown, but as a Spring Festival has been celebrated for over 3,000 years in the Iranian Plateau and followed by people in many other parts of the world such as Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Kurdistan, Russia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, …

On February 23, 2010, the UN General Assembly recognized “Nowrouz” as an international day.

The Nowrouz celebrations are divided into three consecutive components

1- The Fire celebration / Chahar Shanbeh Soori

2- The New Year’s Evening with HAFTSIN (7-S)

3- The Thirteenth day

THE FIRE CELEBRATION

The last evening towards Wednesday (Tuesday Night) in the last week before the new year is called for “Chahar Shanbeh Soori” (The Wednesday Party). This evening (on this year March 15, 2022) is characterized by special customs and rituals, especially the jumping of flames of fire, it is said that a symbol of enlightenment and happiness for the coming new year. The interested people make seven fires in a row and skip singing and shout: “Zardi – e – man – az – to” and “Sorkhi – e – to – az – man”. This means my (sickly) yellow color to you and your (healthy) red color to me!

THE NEW YEAR EVENING WITH HAFTSIN (7-S)

THE THIRTEEN-DAY

The “13th Day” [Sizdah Bedar] is the third and final celebration of the Nowruz Festival, which falls this year on April 1, 2022. A National Nature Festival and a folk tradition since ancient times. On this day most Iranians leave their homes with happiness and go out into the green nature in the form of a picnic containing dance, music, and jokes. The people bring the special green grass and throw it out into the wild usually in the running waterway or rivers

One of the popular traditions is that young girls, tie the boundaries together and dreams of getting married as soon as possible and having children in their arms in the next year. There are also superstitious beliefs about the number thirteen and “the first of April”, as well as in the western world. Therefore, people must leave their homes to protect their lives from eventual catastrophic events!!??

Ever since this medieval Shia Islamic Caliphate State took over the fascist power in Iran in 1979, it has always promoted the Shiite mourning ceremonies with the help of its powerful propaganda apparatus. On this basis, the Mullahs have unofficially banned the Nowruz celebrations and tried so far in vain to limit these festivities, but never managed to stop it with all its power at its disposal.

THE UNITED PEOPLE CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED!

LONG LIVE NOWRUZ CELEBRATION!
