{ happy persian new year }
News / Personal / Photography / 1 Comment / March 20, 2011

Happy Persian New Year! I’m in San Francisco visiting my family to celebrate! The Persian New Year always comes at the spring equinox and we decorate a traditional table with a collection of things that represent the holiday.
 

 
Here’s what these items represent,

Wheat and lentil sprouts = rebirth

Dried fruit of an oleaster tree = love

Garlic = medicine

Apple = health and beauty

Sumac berries = color of sunrise

Coins = wealth

Sweet wheat pudding = affluence

Lit candles = enlightenment and happiness

Mirror = cleanliness and honesty

Decorated eggs = fertility

Bowl of water with goldfish = life within life

Hyacinth = plant life
