Persian New Year
Pirooz Daneshmandi dropped in to let the class know about Persian New Year, which started on March 21st (The Spring Equinox). On that day, Persians must eat particular things, wear special clothes and visit relatives in a particular order. What you do on this day has repercussion for the rest of the year.
Persia has 100, 000 years of history. The Persians were improving the game of chess while the Irish were throwing spears at mammoths during the Ice Age.
