Spring celebration

Where I was born at the beginnig of May a spring celebration takes place. The day is celebrated for welcoming spring. The day before, chestnuts are cooked, milkdesserts are prepared. Mainly scallions are harvested or bought as a sign of spring. At the celebration morning, eggs are cooked in onionskin so that the eggs get another colour. Several meals are prepared freshly. People go outside into the nature mainly to rivers. Some go into the water, some other get ready what they have brought from home, and they eat together, like a picnic.

Hi guys :D Thank u rghaffari for ur great forum, I wanted to make one about Nowruz but u make it with an other new idea_.

 ok, celebrating Nowruz is an ancient costum in Iran & also in some Asian countries like Tajikestan,.. It exactly starts in the first day of spring & people here goest to their relatives house for greeting it & elders give gifts (speacially money) to youngers. we spread Haftseen ( Haftseen means 7 s which includes 7 things which start with the alphabet s of course in persian) that u can see in below pic
