Chaharshanbe Suri
Chaharshanbe Suri is a celebration that happens every year in Iran. It takes place on the last Tuesday before the Persian New Year which happens in March. The word "Chaharshanbe" means Wednesday and "Suri" means Red, so it's also known as the Red Wednesday.
On this day, people light bonfires in the streets and jump over them. They also make noise by banging on pots and pans and setting off fireworks. These are all parts of a tradition that dates back thousands of years and is meant to ward off bad luck and evil spirits.
When people jump over the fire, they believe that they are leaving all their troubles behind and starting a fresh new year. It's also believed that if you make a wish while jumping over the fire, it will come true.
Chaharshanbe Suri is a day for families and friends to come together and celebrate with food, music, and dancing. It's a time to forget about the past and look forward to the future with hope and positivity.
