Touri Mehran prepares for a Persian New Year (also known as Nowruz)
party at her house in Bethesda, Md. on Mar. 20, 2013, to celebrate the beginning
of spring.
|
One of the most common components of the Persian New Year is
a Haft Sin (also known as the traditional table setting of Nowruz).
|
One part of the Haft Sin possesses decorated eggs, which
symbolize humans and fertility.
|
Here are just a few of the postcards the Mehran’s have
received for Persian New Years.

From left to right, Christina Mehran and Daniel Ashtary-Yazdi,
as well as Bahador Moinian and Afsi Goodarzpoor, are seen chatting before dinner.

Dinner is about to be served as all of the food has been cooked
and is ready to go on the table.
|
In this image, the two bowls of rosewater symbolize water,
which is believed to have magical cleansing powers, while the wheat sprouts
represent rebirth.
