HAPPY YALDA Yalda night or Shab-e Chelleh is an Iranian festival celebrated on the longest and darkest night of the year , Yalda is a winter solstice celebration that is, in the night of the Northern Hemisphere’s winter solstice. Calendrically, this corresponds to the night of December 20/21 in the Gregorian calendar, and to the night between the last day of the ninth month (Azar) and the first day of the tenth month ( Dey) of the Iranian civil calendar. In the evening of  Yalda bonfires are lit outside, while inside the home, family and friends gather in a night-long vigil around the korsi, a low, square table covered with a thick cloth overhanging on all sides. A brazier with hot coals is placed under the table. In the past, fruit and vegetables were only available in season and the host, usually the oldest in the family, would have carefully saved grapes, melons , watermelons, oranges, tangerines, apples and pomegranates. Iranian believe that watermelon could keep people healthy in the wintertime. Pomegranates are reminders of the cycle of life-the rebirth and revival of generations. On this night, the oldest member of the family says prayers, thanking God for previous year’s blessings, and prays for prosperity in the coming year. Then he cuts the watermelon, gives everyone a share. The cutting symbolizes the removal of sickness and pain from the family. One of the traditions of Yalda is reciting the poetry by Hafez, the 14th century Iranian poet. Most of the elements of Yalda festivities have roots from thousands of years ago; however, the recitation of Hafez poems has been added in recent centuries. Family members make a wish and randomly opens the Divan of Hafez to one of its pages and usually the eldest member of the family recites the poem on that page. What is expressed in that poem is believed to be the interpretation of the wisher’s wish and whether and how it will come true.
