1400 NOWRUZ EGGS

In the tradition of Norooz, or the Persian New Year, it is common to decorate eggs as a symbol of fertility, renewal, and the start of spring. The eggs are often dyed in bright colors and decorated with patterns or designs using dye, paint, or other materials. They are then displayed as part of the Norooz decorations in the home.

The tradition of decorating eggs for Norooz likely has its roots in ancient Persian and Mesopotamian traditions, where eggs were seen as symbols of new life and were used in springtime celebrations. In some parts of the world, it is also common to exchange decorated eggs with family and friends as a gift during Norooz.

In addition to decorating eggs, there are many other customs and traditions associated with Norooz, including setting a Haft-Seen table, which includes seven items starting with the Persian letter “sin” that represent different aspects of life. These items can include a variety of things such as a mirror, coins, and flowers.
