LouLou, welcome to my photoblog :)

Novruz is a holiday of spring that is celebrated Mostly Turk countries, you know Zaroostrians, who was worshiping the Fire, its a holiday that came from that times.

So on that day, we cook lots of sweets like pakhlava, shekerbura, shor-gogal (all presented in pics) and put candles which represents family members. There is a saying whose candle will fail first, would die erlier than the rest, although all people make fun of it. And also the atribute of spring - grass, which is grown wheat/grain/corn.

Thats about Novruz, celebrated on 21 March.
