• A time for fresh beginnings as winter blossoms into spring, Nowruz is celebrated in today’s Doodle. This historic rite is recognized as the Persian New Year and brings communities together to embrace the change of seasons in the spirit of renewal and rebirth.
  In the Persian language, “now” means “new,” and “ruz” means "day;" and together, Nowruz means “New Day.”  The ancient holiday originated thousands of years ago in the geographical region known as Persia in Central Asia and the Middle East. Passed down from generation to generation for millennia, Nowruz is celebrated over thirteen days by an estimated 300 million people worldwide. The Persian community looks forward to the year to come, often sharing gifts of spring flowers for display.
  In 2009, UNESCO declared Nowruz a part of its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity to commemorate the holiday’s significance to the international community.
  Eid-eh Shoma Mobarak, Happy New Year! ​
