Nowruz 2024: Google's Spectacular Tribute to Iranian New Year
Google celebrated Nowruz in 2024 with a special artwork called a Google Doodle. This doodle was made by an artist named Pendar Yousefi from Iran. He wanted to show the happy memories of his childhood during Nowruz, which is a celebration of the Persian New Year and the start of spring.
Nowruz is an old festival that comes from Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion from Iran. It's also known as the Iranian New Year. Over 300 million people around the world celebrate Nowruz. It marks the start of the Iranian Solar Hijri calendar and usually happens between March 19th and March 21st, when the spring equinox occurs.
Many countries along the Silk Roads celebrate Nowruz, including Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, India, Iran, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
Nowruz in 2024 falls on March 20th, which is a Wednesday. This is when the spring equinox happens in the Northern Hemisphere. The United Nations recognizes March 21st as the International Day of Nowruz to show its importance globally.
People in different countries celebrate Nowruz on different dates because of their calendars. For example, in India, they celebrate it on March 20th following the Solar Hijri calendar, and then again on August 15th following the Shahenshahi calendar.
Nowruz has been celebrated for more than 3,000 years. It's a time to celebrate the renewal of nature and the start of spring. UNESCO, an organization that protects cultural heritage, says Nowruz is about bringing people together and celebrating peace and joy. In 2010, the United Nations also recognized Nowruz as an international day to promote unity and cultural exchange.
During Nowruz, people do traditional activities like lighting fires, dancing, giving gifts, and more. A significant tradition is the haft-sin, where families set up a table with seven symbolic items that represent new beginnings and life. Overall, Nowruz is a time for happiness, unity, and celebrating the beauty of nature.
