the History of Chaharshanbeh Suri

Chaharshanbeh Suri, also known as the celebration of the year-end Wednesday and Red Wednesday night, is one of the great Iranian celebrations held on the night of the last Wednesday of every year (Tuesday night), essentially the first celebration before Nowruz. . Generally, the word "charshanbeh Suri" is made up of a combination of two words "Wednesday" (the name of one of the days of the week) and surri meaning "celebration". According to ancient Iranian rituals, a great fire has been lit on this day and continues until the morning sun rises tomorrow. By Tuesday noon when the fire is lit, people jump on it and repeat the phrase "My yellow from you, your red from me"; that means cleansing and religious cleansing; on the other hand By saying this, people are calling for the fire to eliminate the yellowing and their problems and diseases and to give them redness, warmth and a new force to start the New Year. Ferdowsi's Shahnameh refers to Wednesday's New Year's Eve celebration, which indicates that the festival is old and old. Traditional ceremonies and rituals of this national holiday have been embedded in the culture of the Iranian people from the past to the present day. On the other hand, Katayoun Mazdapour, author and researcher of Zoroastrianism on Wednesday, said that "Iranian celebrations and rituals belong to all Iranians. Many of them go back to the pre-Aryan period, and many have never been to Zoroastrianism, such as Chaharshanbeh Suri.
