Persian New Year.

March 21, or the previous or

festive display in their house called
a "Haft Seen". Grass is part of the
display and when it grows, people
are happy because it is a sign of
eternal life.

spring festival of Persian origin that
has been celebrated for over 3,000

“promotes values of peace and
solidarity between generations and
within families as well as
reconciliation and neighbourliness".
