Norouz is the time of nature’s transition.
When spring comes everything going to change, cold colors will be replaced by warm colors of this season. As I chose blooms, you can see them in different colors everywhere in spring. It seems the earth is waking up again. everything is new and fresh like grasses I selected for my calendar.
We, Iranians, as I know, believe that human are a part of the nature. So, when spring comes and nature keeps on changing, human will vary. Now, I selected some elements we have in our Haft Sin (seven elements begins with sound S). When the time is near the New Year, families gather together around their tablecloths to celebrate this event. Every person wishes to be better for the next year. For example if we put vinegar which is the symbol of tolerance, it means we wish to be able to tolerate problems more than last year in next year. If we have apples, it means people wish and pray to be healthy and beautiful just like the meaning of the symbol apples related to. We put garlic to protect ourselves from illness and evils in next year. WE ALL WISH TO CHANGE AND BE BETTER .IT SHOWS HOW WE AS HUMAN HAVE TRANSITION IN OUR NEW YEAR.
I draw a clock to show the exact time of our new year.ALSO, IT’S THE TIME OF TRANSITION.I make the clock like a bowl of goldfish which means good luck.
Eggs are some part of this tablecloth. They symbolize NEW LIFE.
Candles are to light our way to go straightly forward in next year.
Coins are to mention to be more successful in our future.
THAT ALL REASONS SHOW WHY” NOROUZ IS THE TIME OF NATURE’S TRANSITION”.
