Happy Norouz!
Happy Norouz to all of my friends, near and far! May you have a wonderful new year!
The Persian new year will begin at just after 8pm E.T. We are supposed to spend the passing of the new year with our families, in front of the Sofre Haft-seen (Spread of Seven 'S' = seven items which start with the letter 's'), exchanging gifts. In my version, I will be spending the evening with some Iranian friends. Norouz literally means New Day and occurs on the spring equinox and it is a credit to the precision of the persians that we know the exact time and not just the date :-)
The above link actually has a lot of very interesting details about the traditions of Norouz.
