Chaharshanbe Suri: A Celebration of the End of Dark and Cold Days and the Triumph of Light Over Darkness

Chaharshanbe Suri is a celebration of the end of dark and cold days and the triumph of light over darkness.

Chaharshanbe Suri is one of the oldest and most beautiful Iranian traditions, held on the last Wednesday of the year.

On this night, people welcome spring and light by lighting fires and jumping over them.

This ceremony symbolizes liberation from darkness and the welcoming of light and a new life.

Alongside this ceremony, fireworks are also an exciting and vibrant part of the night, turning the sky into a beautiful display with light and color.

Chaharshanbe Suri is celebrated with various rituals and festivities throughout the Iranian cultural region, which have many similarities with each other.

The most important of these rituals is gathering brushwood or other combustible materials and lighting a fire, but at certain times and in certain places, other rituals such as breaking pots, fortune-telling, and opening the fortune have also been customary.
