Cartoon 49: Sizdah Bedar

Sizdah Bedar

On Sizdah Bedar, the 13th and final day of Nowruz, the Persian new year, Iranians celebrate outdoors in nature. They take with them the green sprouts from the Haft Sin table, tie the sprouts to symbolically prevent any evil from escaping, and return them to nature so they can have a healthy and happy new year.
