Iran Untold

When we started this account, we wanted there to be a place where the good, positive, light Iran and Iranian stuff are talked about.

But 🖤💔

Yay or Nay?

So remember last world cup and all the headlines about how handsome our players are? This time the praise has started before the games in Qatar! UK Heart Radio DJs even sang a song in honor of our handsome footballers! 🥲😎🤩⚽️🥅

Might I add that all these photos are taken from the official Instagram accounts of our players.

If you roam around the cities in Iran today, you’ll see that the parks are packed! This is to wrap up the epic nowruz holidays with an epic ending! 🌱🪢🥳☕️🕺🏻💃🏻🎲🃏🏐🥬🫖🥃

Here are 7 things we do on the 13th day of the Persian New Year:

1- Get out in the open: Celebrate Mother Earth and nature with the entire fam; this is why the parks are packed. 🌳🪴🧺

2- Play games: backgammon(which was invented by Persians 😎) cards, volleyball, hide and seek, badminton, dodgeball and etc…

3- Snack: Lettuce with Sekanjabin, Nuts, Ash Reshteh, tea and sweets 😋

4- Tie a knot on grass: specially young women tie a knot on grass and hope to meet the one they’re meant to be with in the coming year.

5- Dance: because “gher” is a constant for us Iranians

6- Team work on “Peik e Shadi” : Students in iran are given homework for the holidays! and usually the entire work meant for 2 weeks is done on the 13th day because is a thing(at least for that one lazy kid in the family). Kids ask around and complete their assignment with the help of the entire family before going back to school.

7- Throw our Sabzeh out: as this serves as the official ending of Nowruz holidays, we no longer need the center piece of our Haftsin table. We throw it out (usually on a river).

Bonus: 13th lie! Pretty much the April fools but done a day or two later 🤥🪴😁

So, if you ever have to explain the most holiday ever to anyone, share this with them. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Happy Charshanbeh Suri, everyone!

🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥

How do you explain to your khareji friends? And what are your plans for Tuesday night?

If you have ever attempted to explain for your international friends, you know that it’s not that simple! 😅

Last year, we made an explainer video about the entirety of this amazing, holiday. This year, we wanna get deeper and more detailed on each part if it.

Which is your favorite part of Nowrooz?
