Happy Chaharshanbeh Suri 

Chaharshanbeh Suri is one of the ancient festivals of Iranians, celebrated on the eve of the last Wednesday of the year. Cheharshanbeh Suri involves an evening of celebration when families and friends get together and celebrate with specific rituals and eating festive food. Before the start of the festival, people gather brushwood in an open and exterior space. At sunset, after making one or more bonfires, they jump over the flames, singing sorkhi-ye to az man, zardi-ye man az to, which means; “let your redness [be] mine, my paleness yours”. Chaharshanbeh Suri is a celebration in praise of fire, light and happiness that has been remembered and celebrated by Iranians since the ancient times.

After the Islamic revolution, this festival was declared prohibited by the Iranian government like many Iranian (Persian) secular rituals and celebrations, however, Iranians have continued celebrating it every year.
