Navroz Mubarak 2009

March 20, 2009 islamoyankee

Tomorrow, Saturday, is Navroz, the Iranian solar new year, and a day that many Shi’ah and people in the Persianate world celebrate. I normally have my Navroz poem up, but this year the day seems to have hit the big time in the US.

1. Stephen Colbert mentions it.

2. FriendFeed has a special Navroz banner.

3. President Obama send out Navroz greetings.
