Chahar Shanbeh Suri
چهارشنبه‌ سوری
نوید دهندة نوروز و فرا رسیدن فصل بهار
Chahar Shanbeh Suri Festival of NowRuz Persian Iranian New Year for All Farsi Speaking People
On the eve of the last Wednesday of each year, Iranians celebrate "Chahar Shanbeh Suri" - The Red Wednesday, The Festival of Fire. On this occasion people make bon-fires on the streets and jump over them. The streets come alive with children and people as families spill out of their homes and greet each other. The young use a lot of firework before and during the Chaharshanbe Suri.

In order to make wishes come true, it is customary to prepare special foods and distribute them on this night. Noodle Soup and mixture of seven dried nuts and fruits, pistachios, roasted chic peas, almond, hazelnuts, figs, apricots, and raisins.

در ایران باستان، جشن آتش یا جشن سوری از جمله جشن های آریایی بوده است که امروزه تنها چهارشنبه سوری و جشن سده از آن به یادگار مانده است. جشن آذرگان ، شهریورگان یا آذر جشن دیگر اجرا نمی شود.

آتش نزد ایرانیان (پارسیان) نهاد روشنی، پاکی، سازندگی و نیرومندی است. مجموعة آئین های نوروزی از جشن چهارشنبه سوری آغاز شده و با اجرای مراسم سیزده بدر پایان می پذیرد. جشن چهارشنبه سوری در آخر هر سال برپا می شود و پایان فصل سرما که با بیماری، گرسنگی و همچنین مرگ (در ایران باستان) همراه بوده است را نوید می دهد.

آریائی ها با آتش افروختن و سپاس از آتش که در زمستان سخت، همیار آنان در مقابله با سرما، بیماری و گرسنگی بوده است، رسیدن بهار، فصل روئیدن و دوباره زیستن طبیعت، فصل طراوت و شادابی جانداران را نوید می دهند. جشن چهارشنبه سوری ، جشن دوباره آفریدن جهان و انسان است.

با توجه به دلایل فوق، آریائیان بر آتش ارج می نهادند و آن را بزرگ ترین نماد قدرت و وجود اهورا خدای ایرانزمین می دانستند.

Chahar Shanbeh Suri - Last Wednesday of Persian Year, چهارشنبه‌ سوری

Sorkhie to az man, Zardieh man az to, literally means your redness (health) is mine, my paleness (pain) is yours. This phrase is whispered in Chaharshanbeh Soori, ancient purification ritual, while people jump over the fire.

Give me your beautiful red color
And take back my sickly pallor!
سرخی تو از من و
زردی من از تو

Another tradition practice in Chahar-Shanbeh Soori is that people, most often children and young adults, wear strange dresses and sometimes wrap themselves up in sheets to symbolize the shrouds of the dead and head go to the street with pots and pans to create a cacophony you will never forget. As the saying goes, they could wake the dead! And that's pretty much the intention; this ancient ritual is said to ward off evil spirits. Then the kids go door to door to receive Chaharshanbeh Soori nuts, chocolates, etc.
