Nowsereh Festival, Bahman 5. This festival is an ancient Iranian tradition historically observed among Zoroastrians and in certain regions of Iran. Nowsereh marks the midpoint of winter and is rooted in customs that celebrate the arrival of the second half of the cold season and the hope for its end. On this day, families and local communities gather to hold special ceremonies, prepare traditional foods, and participate in symbolic rituals that foster joy and solidarity. Today, the Nowsereh Festival is mainly celebrated as a cultural and symbolic event, and it continues to be observed in some parts of Iran.
