Navroz Mubarak. Happy New Year. Today, March 21, is the Persian New Year and is also marked by Shi’ah as a religious holiday. Still trying to figure out the history behind it. This year’s resolution is to represent who and what I am faithfully and honestly. Let’s start with “I am a Muslim.”
Happy New Year.
I thought nawroz was a zoroastrian festival. The Kurds round my parts are big on it too, and they’re alevis.
it probably started as a zoroastrian religious festival, but seems to have retained a strong cultural affiliation, and spread quite far. we have records of coptic christians in egypt celebrating nawruz in the 10th century. i’m still trying to figure out that cross-cultural jump.
happay navroz mubarak all
