Eid-eh Shoma Mobarak!

Happy Persian New Year to You! NoRuz, the Iranian New Year, begins at 1:33:24 a.m. NZ time tonight. It's the First Day of Spring (in Iran) and, yes, they're really that exact about it. Ancient Persians were the best astronomers around, remember the Three Wise Men? We probably won't stay up for it, I haven't prepared a proper Haft Seen and it's actually the First Day of Autumn here. Oh well, that's part of living in a topsy-turvy world - we will be celebrating the spirit of the day. And where ever you may be when it arrives, you have my deepest wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2564.



It's a wonderful holiday, with lovely customs and traditions that reach way, way back in time. If you're interested in learning about them, check out FarsiNet's very cool website to learn more.

Sad Saal be in Saal-ha and Cheers,
Sandie
