Nawrooz Kit

What is Nawrooz?

In harmony with the rebirth of nature, the Persian New Year Celebration, or Nawrooz, always begins when the season changes from winter to spring on the vernal equinox which usually happens on 20th or 21st March each year.

Why do the dates vary for Vernal Equinox?

The Vernal equinox would occur on the same day every year if the Earth took exactly 365 days to make a complete revolution around the Sun. But this is not the case. It takes the Earth about 365.25 days on average to go around the Sun once. The Gregorian Calendar accounts for this by adding an extra day—the leap day—almost every 4 years.

This means that each March equinox occurs about 6 hours later than the previous year's March equinox. This is why the date of the equinox can change from year to year.

First day of spring 2022, the Vernal Equinox occurs on March 20th at 15:32 UTC.

What is the Nawrooz Kit?

On Nawrooz people cook certain dishes and one of the most common one is Sabzi Polo or Herb Rice. The herb mixture consists of Corriander, Dill, Parsley.

The rice is very aromatic and is served with fish or if you are a vegetarian you can substitute it with Kookoo Sabzi, her frittata.
