tonight is shab-e yaldā (شب یادا)—the longest night of the year 🌙✨🌌

viewed simply as the winter solstice in the western world, this night holds deep symbolism + history for iranian people; an ancient zoroastrian festival held on the longest + darkest night of the year.

shab-e yaldā is one of the most important ancient persian traditions. this festival is also called ‘shab-e challeh’ (شب چله) or the ‘night of the forty,’ because it marks the beginning of the first forty days of winter, believed to be the coldest + toughest days of the year.

on this night, families gather to to pass the darkest night of the year in good company + celebrate the ‘rebirth of the sun’ the following day, known as ‘khurram ruz’ (the day of the sun). the festival is celebrated as the triumph of light over darkness 🌌✨

according to folklore, eating fruits saved from the summer harvest on shab-e yaldā strengthens one against the harsh winter + the next summer’s heat. 🍉

in the dark of the night, families bring light + joy into the world by reading divinations + fortunes from hafez’s poetry in preparation for the sun’s rebirth + the end of the longest night of the year. 🌍💫🌴
