Norooz
Persian New Year

A Celebration of Life

BiBi owner Fataneh Dowlatshahi is excited to celebrate her favorite holiday—Norooz, or Persian New Year—with everyone in the BiBi family.  Fataneh remembers growing up in Iran, when Norooz was the time everyone—regardless of religion or background—came together to celebrate the beginning of the season, life, and community. At its heart, Norooz is a time to be together and be glad that the new life of spring is starting.

About two weeks before the first day of spring, people in Iran begin preparing for Norooz. They dance and play music in the streets, clean their houses, and of course start cooking. All of this revolves around symbols of new life: growing lentil and wheat seeds, making egg bread, and welcoming family and friends.

Everyone spends the day after the new year outside, throwing seeds to symbolize getting rid of bad feelings and quarrels and beginning new life. We want to share this feeling—welcoming all in our community, celebrating life, and exorcising the negative experiences from the previous year—with you.
