Persang Karaoke Wishes that Nowroz (Pateti) brings Lots of warmth and strengths the bond, between your family members!

Navroze is the name of the New Year in the Persian Calendar It is also referred to as the "New Year".

Navroze, a combination of two Persian words, the first word “nav” means new and the second word “roze” means day; together they mean “New Day.”  The exact beginning of the New Year occurs when the season changes from winter to spring.

The people begin with cleaning their homes as a general custom of Navroze, known as ‘spring clean’. This is observed days before the festival. This is practiced to welcome the new spring season with freshness. The Parsis also believe that the soul of the departed family members would visit the homes of their loved ones on Navroze Eve.

The number seven has been regarded magical and significant for the Zoroastrians. The number seven symbolizes the seven elements of life, namely, fire, earth, water, air, plants, animals and humans. The traditional table setting of Jamshed Navroz includes seven specific items beginning with the letter ‘S’, known as Haft Sin, that signify life, health, wealth, abundance, love, patience and purity. These items are also known to have astrological correlations to planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and Sun and Moon.

At the strike of the clock indicating New Year, the Parsis wear their clean and new dresses and gather around the Navroze table and Haft Sin. Prayers are offered for health, happiness and prosperity. Next, the family members hug and kiss each other as part of the New Year greetings. The delicacies prepared for the occasion are served and consumed. The oldest member of the family then takes the lead and presents the Eidi (New Year’s gift) to the younger members present.

On this special day,  Persang Karaoke wishes:
