Dear Friend,
I hope this email finds you well and in high spirits! As we embrace the arrival of spring, I wanted to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a very Happy Nowruz!
For those who may not be familiar, Nowruz, which translates to “New Day” in Persian, marks the beginning of the Persian New Year and is celebrated by millions of people around the world, particularly in Iran and various other countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and beyond. This ancient festival has been observed for over 3,000 years and holds profound cultural and historical significance.
Nowruz signifies not just the start of a new year, but also a time of renewal, rejuvenation, and hope. It symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, the victory of life over death, and the promise of a fresh beginning. It’s a time when families gather to reflect on the past year, express gratitude for blessings received, and look forward to the opportunities and adventures that lie ahead.
During Nowruz, homes are adorned with beautiful decorations, symbolic items are displayed on the Haft-Seen table, and delicious traditional dishes are prepared to share with friends and family. It’s a time of joyous festivities, heartfelt reunions, and acts of kindness and generosity.
As we celebrate Nowruz together, let us embrace the spirit of unity, tolerance, and harmony. Let us cherish our cultural heritage and embrace the diversity that enriches our communities. May this Nowruz bring you and your loved ones abundant happiness, prosperity, and peace.
Once again, Happy Nowruz to you and yours!
Onward,Â
Rep. Anna V. Eskamani
