"NIME SHABAN"

I want to talk about one of the popular and common festivals in Iran which everybody who lives in Iran certainly knows it. It is called "Nime Shaban" which refers to the Muslims' religion and also tradition. They believe that a holy person who is called "Mahdi" was born in this day. So Muslims celebrate this day to express their respect and happiness. They illuminate the streets and distribute sweets and juice to people who cross the streets. Also you can see fireworks at the top of the tallest tower in Iran "Milad Tower" as well as in big parks. Young people who want to marry, choose this day to hold their wedding ceremony. So by these details you can imagine this nice day which all people have fun in it even those who are not Muslims and just live in Iran welcome it.
Finally it is important to say that people should maintain their useful traditions and keep them for the other generations.

  1. Dear Sepide
    One of my best friend in the university is zoroastrian. She told me they believed a man like him,too. But his name is Sooshiant and this word means a person who send a lot of benefits to humen.

  2. In fact in all the religions there exists a survivor!
    As Neda said: "Sooshiant is the survivor for Zoroastrians" and Jesus is the survivor for the Christians ,etc.
    It could be interesting to have a search about it!
