Nowruz 2023

Posted on March 31, 2023April 1, 2023 by Farashaei, Nooshin

Nowruz (means new day) is the celebration of love, life and joy. It marks the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one and is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox. Nowruz is a rite dating back to at least the 6^th century BCE, marking the new year and ushering in spring.

We celebrated Nowruz with the UConn community on March 20! Such a beautiful and great event it was! Thank you all who showed up and celebrated the Iranian new year with us.
