What is newroz?

Newroz is a very important festival in the Middle East and Central Asia, celebrated on March 21-22. It marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and is often referred to as the Persian New Year. Newroz is also celebrated by the Kurdish people and is considered an important symbol of their culture.

The festival is celebrated by wearing new clothes, visiting family and friends, preparing special foods, and dancing and singing. In some regions, people light fires and jump over them to symbolize purification and the arrival of spring.

Newroz has a long and complex history that can be traced back to the ancient Persian Empire. It is believed to have started as a Zoroastrian festival, and later became part of the Islamic calendar. Today, it is celebrated by people of different faiths and cultures as a time of renewal and hope for the future.
