History and practice of Naurooz

Long long time ago, King Jamsheed of the Iranian Peshdadiyan dynasty founded the festival of Naurooz (meaning “new day” in Persian) to celebrate the coming of spring after the cold, dark winter. If you recall that in those times Iran was a pastoral community, you can appreciate that this festival marks the triumph of good over evil with light literally defeating darkness as Naurooz falls on the Vernal Equinox, when night equals day, and subsequently the hours of daylight increase. Today, Naurooz is celebrated the world over by people influenced by pre-Islamic Iranian culture. What makes Naurooz unique is that it is the only holiday celebrated by several religious communities in various countries. Among the best-known customs of Naurooz is the Sofreh haft-sheen/seen, or spread with seven gifts of Nature with names beginning with the Farsi letter “sheen” or “seen”. A week or so before the holiday, grains of wheat and lentils are placed in bowls to sprout into a mass of greenery, symbolizing growth. The table is also laden with fruit, nuts, sweets and snacks, candles, and the holy book, the Khordeh Avesta for Zoroastrians. A bowl with goldfish and a basket of colored eggs, indicating new life, are also placed on the table. Custom dictates that visitors who come to share the holiday with you should be sprinkled with fragrant rosewater and asked to look into a mirror to make a wish. Some say that this ritual symbolizes that you smell as sweet as roses and shine as bright as a mirror throughout the new year.

The Haft Seen table symbolizes the holiday spirit in much the same way the Christmas tree promotes a special festive mood and the table is kept replenished for thirteen days. To the Zoroastrians, the sixth day was called the “Naurooz Bozorg” or “greater Naurooz” as it was celebrated as the birthday of Holy Zarathushtra. Nowadays in Iran, the celebrations end on the thirteenth day with people going for a picnic by streams and rivers. The sprouted lentils are thrown into running water, carrying away the bad luck of the previous year.

The Hast Sheen/Seen spread contains seven specific things together with a number of additional items on the Sofreh that will signify renewal, happiness, wealth, good health or any thing that you desire for the New Year.

Here are these items:

OPTIONAL PRAYERS – Marked on the top as At first, we compiled all prayers that can be included in the Naurooz Prayer. After that, we had to trim the length so as to keep the total length of the prayer within 20 minutes. The slides to be recited by Anjuman, the participants, with Mobeds are marked: “Anjuman Participation”. The slides that we feel can be left out as OPTIONAL Prayers are so marked. We leave to the judgement of the local Mobeds what slides to include.

Since most of the prayers are in Avesta/Pazand, Gujarati, Persian with their English translations, one suggestion was to include all three language prayers with English translation on one page. This, however, reduces the font size of the printed prayers on a page so small that they may be difficult to read for many elderly people. In spite of this drawback, we have arranged the 149 total slides so that the first slide can be printed out by itself, and the rest of the 148 slides can be printed out in PowerPoint as a Handout with 4 slides per page. We have inserted some blank slides to make this 4 slides per page synchronized with the prayers.
