 here's some more information about Nowroz:

Nowroz has its roots in ancient Zoroastrianism, a religion that was practiced in ancient Persia (modern-day Iran) and was one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. The festival was originally a Zoroastrian holiday that marked the beginning of the new year and the first day of spring.

Nowroz is celebrated with a number of different customs and traditions, which vary from region to region and country to country. For example, in Iran, people celebrate by jumping over bonfires, which is believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. In Afghanistan, people fly kites and play games like buzkashi, a traditional sport that involves riding horses and trying to grab a goat carcass.

Food is also an important part of the Nowroz celebrations, and many traditional dishes are prepared for the occasion. In Iran, for example, people eat sabzi polo mahi, a dish made of herbed rice and fish, while in Afghanistan, people eat samanak, a sweet pudding made from germinated wheat.

Nowroz is also a time for giving gifts and exchanging greetings with family and friends. In Iran, it is traditional to give money or gold coins to children as a gift, while in Afghanistan, people exchange sweets and small gifts.

Overall, Nowroz is an important festival that celebrates the coming of spring and the renewal of nature, as well as the cultural heritage of the Persian-speaking world
