On March 18, I went to the coffee hour at 4:00 pm. There was a presentation about the Iranian new year. They talked about this day is called Nawrus ( NAW, mean New - Happy Persian New Year). The Persian year starts at the beginning of spring season by the Iranian calendar. The peoples of Central Asia participated the Iranian people this holiday, while retaining a high degree of exellence in the details of the celebration of Nawrus day. This day begins with prayers and then the Iranian family meet on the dining table. Also decorate their homes basins of ornamental fish at diffenent colors. All the family members wear new clothes. Some of them prefer to travel inside or outside Iran and Exchange of congratulations during the visit with flowers and sweets. Ilearned a lot from this event and now I know a lot about Iranian culture.
Although I have had a lot of students from Arabic countries, somehow, I have not met any students from Iran. Do they have different traditions and customs from yours?
