Happy Chahar Shanbe Soori! Persian New Years is on its way, Baby! Celebrated on the last Wednesday before Noruz (new year), Chahar Shanbe Soori is a bonfire festival that’s meant to serve as a farewell to the year that is about to close. As celebrants jump over the fire, they exorcise the old year and its misfortunes and regenerate the world through the new one. Kind of like a “cleanse” of sorts.
Here’s what I got up to to celebrate Soori last year.

We hope that everyone has a safe and happy New Year, and that no one burns their bum jumping over a fire.
