DESCRIPTION:

Noroz is an everlasting custom. From ancient time, Iranian celebrated the New Year. This celebration was largest and glorious festival in iran. Kings of our country mentioned this event so much. In that time Iranians, especially women, wore traditional cloths. We know those styles from paintings artists had done in that time. Women cloths were well-designed and matched with religious ideas. So I draw the girl like that women .in addition, I draw some elements that we have in our New Year celebration. We gather seven elements begin with sound ”s” .they are sabzeh, amano, senjed, sib, seke and sonbol. each of them has special meaning. For example, the apple means health and beauty that we want to archive in our new year.egg is the symbol of new life we put in our table. Goldfish symbolizes good luck. Our new year is on 21 of March, when the spring comes to our country.

I CHOSE THIS DESIGN FOR DO MY CALENDER.

TRADITIONAL FESTIVAL"NOROZ"

No-Rooz, in word, means "New Day". It is the new day that starts the year, traditionally the exact astronomical beginning of the Spring. Iranians take that as the beginning of the year. This exact second is called "Saal Tahvil". No-Rooz with its' uniquely Iranian characteristics has been celebrated for at least 3,000 years and is deeply rooted in the rituals and traditions of the Zoroastrian (This was the religion of ancient Persia before the advent of Islam in 7th century A.D.). Iranians consider No-Rooz as their biggest celebration of the year, before the new year, they start cleaning their houses (Khaane Tekaani), and they buy new clothes. But a major part of New Year rituals is setting the "Haft Seen" with seven specific items.

In ancient times each of the items corresponded to one of the seven creations and the seven holy immortals protecting them. Today they are changed and modified but some have kept their symbolism. All the seven items start with the letter "S"; this was not the order in ancient times. These seven things usually are: Seeb (apple), Sabze (green grass), Serke (vinager), Samanoo (a meal made out of wheat), Senjed (a special kind of berry), Sekke (coin), and Seer (garlic). Sometimes instead of Serke they put Somagh (sumak, an Iranian spice). Zoroastrians today do not have the seven "S"s but they have the ritual of growing seven seeds as a reminder that this is the seventh feast of creation, while their sprouting into new growth symbolized resurrection and eternal life to come.

The Haft Sin
The Haftseen includes seven items on a table specific starting with the letters or sin.
The Haft sin items are:
Sabzeh- symbolizing rebirth
Samanu- symbolizing affluence
Senjed- symbolizing love
Sir- symbolizing medicine
Sib- symbolizing beauty and health
Somaq- symbolizing the colour of sunrise
Serkeh- symbolizing age and patience
