Background of my Selection festival day




Chaharshanbe-Suri: Is an ancient Persian festival dating at least to 1700 BCE of the early Zoroastrian (Ancient Prophet) era. The festival of fire is a prelude to the Norouz festival, which marks the arrival of spring and revival of nature.Originally celebrated on Tuesday night but it is called the last Wednesday of the year, The word Chahar Shanbeh means Wednesday and Suri is red. The celebration usually starts in the evening, with people making bonfires in the streets and jumping over them.

The tradition includes people going into the streets and alleys to make fires, and jump over them while singing the song Sorkhi-ye to az man, zardi-ye man az to. The literal translation is, your fiery red colour is mine, and my sickly yellow paleness is yours. This is a purification rite and 'soori' itself means redness which hints at the colour of fire. Basically, this means you want the fire to take your paleness, sickness, and problems and in turn give you redness, warmth, and energy..
