Norooz Celebration: Honoring a Persian New Year Tradition
Norooz, or Persian New Year, marks the first day of spring and symbolizes renewal, love, and light. For over 3,000 years, this joyful celebration has united families across the world in welcoming a fresh beginning. At Tooka Florist Vancouver, we embrace this timeless tradition with Norooz-themed flower arrangements and haft-sin decorations designed to bring color, meaning, and elegance to your celebration.
The Meaning and History of Norooz
Rooted in ancient Persian culture and Zoroastrian beliefs, Norooz coincides with the spring equinox—usually on March 20 or 21. The celebration lasts 13 days and involves spring cleaning, new clothes, and preparing the haft-sin table, a symbolic setting that reflects hope and renewal.
The Beauty of the Haft-Sin Table
The haft-sin includes seven symbolic items, each starting with the Persian letter “س (sin).” Together, they represent health, love, patience, and abundance:
- Sabzeh (sprouted wheat/lentil) — rebirth and growth
- Samanu (sweet pudding) — wealth and strength
- Senjed (dried fruit) — love and compassion
- Sir (garlic) — health and protection
- Sib (apple) — beauty and fertility
- Somagh (sumac) — sunrise and victory of light
- Serkeh (vinegar) — patience and wisdom
To complete the table, many families include fresh flowers—often tulips, hyacinths, or daffodils—to symbolize spring’s renewal.
