Novruz is a cherished and significant holiday for the Azerbaijani people, deeply rooted in their culture and history. It marks the arrival of spring on March 20-21, which also signals the beginning of the New Year. Its origins go way back to old customs and rituals connected to spirits, nature worship, and fertility beliefs. Novruz, an ancient spring festival, is one of Azerbaijan's oldest and most beautiful traditions.
Novruz in Azerbaijan has always been about celebrating the rebirth of nature, goodness, and fairness. It's mainly about honoring the Sun and its representation on Earth, Fire. In the month leading to Novruz, every Tuesday is dedicated to celebrating the four elements of nature: water, fire, earth, and air (or wind), with the last one, known as "Akhir Charshanba," signaling the start of spring when leaves start budding. People get busy cleaning their homes, planting trees, making new clothes, painting eggs, and baking traditional pastries like shekarbura, pakhlava, and shorgoghal, along with various national dishes.
According to some sources, Novruz has an ancient history dating back 3500-5000 years, related to the time of the prophet Zardush. Novruz is a time for families to come together, enjoy a rich meal the night before the holiday, and welcome the New Year. It's also a time for big gatherings, festivals, and folk music concerts. The celebrations last for several days, ending with lively public dancing and other fun activities.
