Last night at 0:54 midnight Iran time, the solar new year started. Nowruz is the first day of the Iranian solar year equal to March 21, the celebration of the beginning of the Iranian new year and one of the oldest celebrations left over from ancient Iran. The origin of Nowruz is in ancient Iran and it is celebrated in large areas in Asia and other parts of the world. Nowruz celebration time is the spring equinox and at the beginning of the spring season.
Nowruz is considered the beginning of the new year in Iran and Afghanistan. In some other countries, such as Tajikistan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Syria, Iraq, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Albania, China, Turkmenistan, India, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan, it is an official holiday. They hold that celebration.
Nowruz, as an old and ancient celebration, has been inherited from many ethnic groups in the region, and with its special color and stigma, it has acquired an Iranian birth certificate and is referred to as a symbol of connecting Iranian people and ethnic groups and the Iranian nation. Iranians consider Nowruz to be the beginning of the resurrection of nature, sometimes the growth and birth of gardens and parks, and they believe that in Nowruz, at the same time as nature, they should start a new era with a fresh mind and attitude, in a new outfit.
Nowruz, with the official title "International Nowruz Day", has been registered as a cultural and spiritual heritage of mankind by UNESCO. This day is also one of Zoroastrians and Bahais' holy days and religious holidays.
According to the proposal of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the United Nations General Assembly included Nowruz in its calendar with Iranian roots.
In the text approved by the United Nations General Assembly on February 23, 2010, Nowruz, March 21, is described as a festival with Iranian origins that is more than 3,000 years old and is celebrated by more than 300 million people today.
