Here’s our #Haftsin, with a brief description of what everything symbolizes. (“Haft” means seven, “sin” pronounced “seen” means the s sound. So, seven S’s.) 🇮🇷 - hyacinth: a harbinger of spring 🧄 : for good health 🐠 goldfish (or in case, goldfish crackers and goldfish stitch markers): they pause their swimming when the bull who carries the world on its horn switches horns -sumac: so you live a flavorful life - noodles: so your undertakings run with smooth continuity - Sabzeh: grains that have been used to foretell a successful harvest for the coming year 🪙: coins to keep you solvent 🍎: an apple so you appear as healthy as a red-cheeked apple 🕯: to bring light to your life 🪞: to reflect on your past, show your present, and peek into your future. (The mirror and candlesticks were wedding gifts from my maternal grandfather.) 📖: my household is secular, but the book we follow is Positive Discipline. (My mom has the family Quaran, which is the traditional book.) 🇮🇷 non-traditional things that are there that also start with “s”: skeletons, ‘sauruses, sloth, spindles, stitch markers, skull 🇮🇷 #Nowruz #PersianNewYear #BIPOCMaker #Multigenerational #KnitmoregirlsPodcast #SpringEquinox to line break

Nowruz pirooz, from our family to yours. ❤️ 🇮🇷 Persian New Year starts on spring equinox and goes for two weeks. In non-Covid times it would be two glorious weeks of enjoying food and family, celebrating culture and company. But, we will celebrate as much as we can in the best way we can. 🇮🇷 #Nowruz #PersianNewYear #BIPOCMaker #Multigenerational #KnitmoregirlsPodcast #SpringEquinox 🇮🇷 [Image Description: left to right: A striking, freckled and fair-skinned Persian American woman with a short, sea-pink haircut grins toothily next to an elegant, mature, Iranian-American woman with salt and pepper hair and a polka dot dress. A stunning little girl with an olive complexion, glasses, and long dark brown hair is smiling with dimples next to the cutest boy in the world with bangs and the sparkliest brown eyes smiles gap-toothedly. Next to him is a beautiful, bespectacled Chinese-American woman who is smiling from ear-to-ear. Behind her is a fair skinned Iranian, American man with an impressive copper colored beard peeks out, smiling. In the back row, where we put all the Talls, a tall, bald, white man with a greying Van Dyke beard smiles, leaning forward in his seat. is in the foreground, taking the photo. A haftsin is on the piano, obscured by this ridiculously attractive family.]
