CHAHARSHANBE SURI MINI-INVESTIGATION

Mini Investigation CHAHARSHANBE SURI
Introduced from one of our students from Iran, the children learned about Chahārshanbe Suri  which is a fire jumping festival, celebrated in Iran and Afghanistan.

Loosely translated as Wednesday Light, from the word sur which means light in Persian or more plausibly, consider sur to be a variant of sorkh (red) and take it to refer either to the fire itself or to the ruddiness (sorkhi), meaning good health or ripeness, supposedly obtained by jumping over it, is an ancient Iranian festival dating back to at least 1700 BCE of the early Zoroastrian era. Also called the Festival of Fire, it is a prelude to Nowruz, which marks the arrival of spring. The words Chahar Shanbeh mean Wednesday and Suri means red. Bonfires are lit to "keep the sun alive" until early morning.  The celebration usually starts in the evening, with people making bonfires in the streets and jumping over them singing.

Another tradition of this day is to make special ajeel, or mixed nuts and berries. People wear disguises and go door to door knocking on doors as similar to Trick-or-treating.
