📖 Key Information

Nowruz (Persian: نوروز, Iranian Persian: [noːˈɾuːz], lit. 'New Day') is the Iranian or Persian New Year's day. Historically, it has been observed by Iranian peoples, but is now celebrated by many ethnicities worldwide. It is a festival based on the Northern Hemisphere spring equinox, which marks the first day of a new year on the Iranian calendars and the currently used Solar Hijri calendar; it usually coincides with a date between 19 March and 22 March on the Gregorian calendar.
