No Rooz

No-Rooz is the Iranian New Year.  This holiday is ancient in origin and has been celebrated in Iran for over 3,000 years.  No-Rooz literally means "New Day" and is celebrated on the vernal equinox.  The following information is from Wikipedia related to the No-Rooz (Nowruz) holiday:

Nowruz (Persian: Nowruz – نوروز‎‎; [nouˈɾuːz]; literally "New Day") is the name of the Iranian New Year, also known as the Persian New Year, which is celebrated worldwide by Iranian peoples, along with some other ethno-linguistic groups, as the beginning of the New Year.  It has been celebrated for over 3,000 years in the Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Western Asia. It marks the first day of Farvardin in the Iranian calendar.  Nowruz is the day of the vernal equinox, and marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day, depending on where it is observed. The moment the sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year, and families gather together to observe the rituals.
