Rituals of "Yalda" Night 20-12-2016

Details
Category: Ceremonies
Published: 20 December 2016

The longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry (especially Hafez) until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and glow of life. The poems of Divan-e Hafez, which can be found in the bookcases of most Iranian families, are intermingled with peoples' life and are read or recited during various occasions like this festival and at Norooz. This festival was broadcast by the Iranian TV of the Province of Esfahan. A big thank you to all our guests, the officials of Badrood and the province of Esfahan, the musicians, the artists, the poets and the technicians and directors who embellished this evening.
