Friday, March 20th, is the start of the Baha'i and Persian/Zoroastrian New Year, falling on the Vernal Equinox, the beginning of Spring. Under various spellings, Norooz is a celebration of renewal. It is time to clean and plant, cook and make new clothes, dance and celebrate. Spring is a new beginning for many things in many cultures.
