In Persian culture and traditions the longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry Hafez and the Shahname or The Book of Kings until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and glow of life. This year, we have decided to start our Yalda celebrations a little earlier with a special preparatory event. This pre-Yalda celebration is not just a countdown; it's a chance for us to come together, to cherish the bonds of family and friendship, and to create unforgettable memories.
