During that era, Navruz was considered the beginning of the year and a symbol of the fertility of the land”.

 

“The history of the origin of Navruz dates back 6,000 years, and its celebration was observed as early as the Achaemenid period, since that time, the Iranian people have passed down the customs and traditions of Navruz from generation to generation. The main points of the Navruz tradition left by our ancestors as a cultural value for today’s generation through the book “Avesta”, - recalled Firuz Boyazitov, Chief Specialist of the Press Center.
