During the festival of Nowruz in Persia, a traditional ritual involves the Haft-Seen table setting, which features seven symbolic items starting with the letter 'S'. This table is decorated with items like sekeh (coins) representing wealth and samanu (sweet pudding) symbolizing power. Families gather to perform rituals that celebrate the arrival of spring, including cleaning their homes and visiting friends and family. Nowruz emphasizes renewal, rebirth, and the importance of community, reflecting deep cultural values rooted in Persian history. It heralds the New Year and the fresh beginnings associated with the season.
