Description Handmade ceramic egg decorated with Haji Firooz pattern. Celebrate this Nowruz in style. Natural size. Norooz, the Persian New Year, is celebrated during the spring equinox, usually falling on March 20th or 21st. It’s a time for people to gather with family and friends, reflect on the past year, and welcome the start of a new one. A key tradition in the celebration is lighting a candle, which is thought to bring light, warmth, and joy to the home. Typically, a large white candle is placed in a central spot, such as a tabletop or fireplace. It is lit at the beginning of the Norooz festivities and remains burning throughout the holiday, symbolizing the light of the new year.
