Before the start of Charshanbe Suri festival ... View this post on Instagram 🔥🎇🎭 Before the start of Charshanbe Suri festival (the last Wednesday before Nowruz) people gather brushwood in an open, free exterior space. At sunset, after making one or more bonfires, they jump over the flames, singing sorxi-ye to az man, zardi-ye man az to, literally meaning "[let] your ruddiness [be] mine, my paleness yours", or a local equivalent of it. This is considered a purificatory practice. . . . #festival #space #fire #red #photo #black #color #charshanbesuri #man #me #you #like #love #flame #open #photooftheday #photography #persia #persian #wednesday #nowruz #newyear #happy #fun #national #culture #ancient #people #tbt #share A post shared by E.
