During the Persian "Nowruz" -- the Iranian New Year -- I always noticed the picture of Imam Ali on the Haft Sin table with the Quran on the table, in addition with seven items beginning with the letters "S": The Haft Sīn items are: Sabzeh – wheat, barley or lentil sprouts growing in a dish – symbolizing green environment, happiness and rebirth. Samanu – a sweet pudding made from germinated wheat – symbolizing affluence. Senjed – the dried fruit of the oleaster tree – symbolizing firmness and tolerance. Sīr – garlic – symbolizing health. Sīb – apples – symbolizing beauty and love. Somaq – sumac berries –symbolizing patience. Serkeh – vinegar – symbolizing development and evolution. Other symbolic items can be : Sekkeh – Coins – representing wealth Lit candles – enlightenment and sunrise. a Mirror – symbolizing cleanliness and honesty Decorated eggs, sometimes one for each member of the family – fertility A bowl of water with goldfish – life within life, and the sign of Pisces which the sun is leaving. As an essential object of the Nowruz table, this goldfish is also "very ancient and meaningful" and with Zoroastrian connection.[88] Rosewater – purity and cleanness. The national colours – for a patriotic touch A holy book (e.g., the Avesta, Qur'an,or Kitáb-i-Aqdas) and/or a poetry book (almost always either the Shahnameh or the Divan of Hafiz) B – The second groups of items on the table are for offering to guests to eat and may include: Samanu – a sweet pudding made from germinated wheat – symbolizing affluence Traditional Iranian pastries such as baghlava, toot, naan-nokhodchi-, Persian sweet , Gotaab,Kaak(cake) and klouche. Aajeel – dried fruits, pistachio, walnuts, pine nuts, berries, and raisins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowruz --------------------- |
