Old customs-New beginnings: NOWRUZ
How We Celebrate Our Persian New Year!!!
?
This is the ancient empire of Persian.
Many in this region celebrate Nowruz.

My favorite part in Nowruz is getting gifts from my family
and elders. The most exciting moment is when we scream,
“Happy New Year!” (Delaram, 10th grade)
A special thanks to Delaram Ramezanshams who authored much of this issue.
