The Novruz Holiday

Children like to swing on this holidayEvery year on the 21st of March we celebrate Novruz Holiday. Novruz means New Year's day by Muslum Calendar. This is the time when day and night are equal. By this calendar March 21st mark the beginning of spring. Women cook the traditional dish "Semeni", which is made of sprouts of wheat with some flour and granulated sugar. People put their new clothes on. They play different national sport games and go to large public celebrations. Young people play, sing, dance, swing and meet guests.

Bazaars are opened in many places. We can buy sweets and different national dishes there and listen to national songs and music.
