7Berkeh: A quiet city is the sign of a long vacation. One day after the beginning of the New Year, the hustle and bustle of the previous days is relocated to the margins Gerash, into the gardens around the city. And the cruelly beautiful weather these days wipes all hesitations.

The Solar year of 1395 began yesterday at 8:00:12. The moment is a cultural occasion in all the countries which hold Norouz. People spread Haft-Sin wherever they feel most homely and happy. Some in their houses; some in their parents’ houses; and some in their gardens, or even in their workplaces.

And some decided to spread their Haft-Sin in a very special place. A large group of people gathered in the Martyrs’ Paradise of Gerash in both sides of the city to celebrate the beginning of the New Year next to their beloved departed ones. (See Majid Afshar’s pictures here)
