Hi I'm Saba and today I wanna introduce a traditional event to you.
All over the world, people celebrate new year's eve in their own ways with their own tradition and Iranian people celebrate it as their own way too.
The new year's eve is on the first day spring on its month called Farvardin and it's on 20the March .
One of Iranians tradition for this eve is "sofre Haft sin" that meants something like "seven S letter table" because for doing that traditional thing people place seven things that in Persian language this stuff starts with S letter .
So here I'm gonna name them one by one and tell you why they put them beside each other on their new year's eve :
