What do Iranians do for their new year?

Iranians have lots of cultural occasions in different part of a year.The most famous one is Nowruz which is the beginning of the year,Persian calender and the beginning of Spring and formally starts on the 20th of march as Persian calender.
They become ready before the new year's arrival and I would like to talk about that for all friends and readers on this page to introduce this interesting culture because I do believe in every culture there is a spirit of those people who created it.Knowing about it is always interesting and I will be happy if any of my readers have different culture than me and they could share it with me.Leave a note and explain the culture or leave your blog address so we could become friends from all around the world while we know about each other.
Now lets start from cleaning the house.
Iranians call it " khauneh tekauni" word by word will be "shaking the house" but it really means :"Cleaning the house deep down"
Iranians usually start from the 6th of the march by planting.It could be tree or different kinds of flowers.
Right at the time people start cleaning the house
The next step will be growing grass
Then the last Wednesday of the year that they call it "charshanbeh souri"
Next will be the last Thursday of the year which is Iranian Memorial day.
The last night before new year will be very special
And finally:The new year or "Nowrooz"(means new day)
At the first day of the year people start visiting people they know and that is how they start the year.
The last day of this biggest occasional beautiful vacation is the 13th day as a common culture of a bad luck day and after that this beautiful holiday will be over.
I will explain every step of that post by post.

Have fun
