Once again, we are on the verge of the Persian celebration of Yalda, a

festival that has major significance in Iranian culture. Yalda is the only Iranian festivity that emphasizes the audacious conflict between light and dark emphasizing the beginning of longer days and shorter nights.

For centuries, at the height of the chilly winter nights, there is a new hope in the hearts of the Persians; the hope that Yalda, along with the elements of nature, simply reminds us that just like the end of darkness, it is possible to end sorrow and anguish in the face of the kindness of the sun, which is the eternal gem of our culture.

And now everything indicates that once again the force of light,brightness and joy will end the bitter and dark times.

The Pasargad Heritage Foundation, while congratulating you on the occasion of the Persian Yalda celebration, invites everybody to celebrate this national festivity.

Let’s ome along and celebrate Yalda by the Evergreen and with the army of light and kindness save our land from the evil of darkness.
