🔥 happy chaharshanbe soori / چهارشنبه‌سوری 🔥

the ‘chaharshanbe soori’ fire festival occurs on the eve of the final wednesday of the year, in preparation for the new year—Norouz.

the festival is dedicated to ridding oneself of the ill + bad luck of the past year + ushering in warmth, health, and good luck for the new year ahead.

jumping over fires is part of this Zoroastrian tradition + symbolizes the transfer of bad energy into the fire + receiving strength + good energy in return.

the tradition is borne from the ancient Iranian festival of Hamaspathmaedaya, which occurred on the last five days of the year in honor of the spirits of the dead. ancestors believed that spirits of the dead would come for reunion during this time + were bidden a formal ritual farewell at the dawn of the new year 🔥🌙

in celebration, the ‘ātash / آتش’ [fire] pair is now available ✨
✺ $23 (includes US shipping)
✺ DM for purchase/inquiries!
