Hello Everyone,

As we approach Nowruz on March 19, let us embrace the spirit of renewal and unity. Nowruz, meaning “new day,” marks the first day of spring and the rebirth of nature. Rooted in Zoroastrian traditions, this ancient festival is celebrated by diverse communities worldwide for over 3,000 years. It is a secular holiday for most, yet remains a holy day for Zoroastrians, Baháʼís, and some Muslim communities. Nowruz symbolizes the eternal cycle of rebirth, reminding us to cherish our shared humanity and honor cultural diversity.

Wishing you all a joyous Nowruz! May the arrival of spring inspire us to foster understanding, compassion, and goodwill.
