Persian New Year

When I first learned about this holiday a few years ago, I was entranced by some of its customs. I even grew a pot of grass one year to mark the Spring Equinox as the celebrants of this holiday do.

I think it is vitally important to know the significant celebrations of other cultures, if we are to increase global understanding among people. So I was thrilled to see the video of President Barack Obama acknowledging this holiday and sending greetings to the people across the world who observe it.
