Seezdah Bedar is the last holiday of the long Norooz break and is a day filled with relaxation and fun outdoors.
Seezdah means 13 and Bedar means away or out. Iranians consider 13 to be an unlucky number and so for this
reason, they spend the 13th day of the New Year outside the home. Seezdah-Bedar is in essence a national picnic
that is celebrated with everyone going to parks, hills and mountainsides to spend the day with nature, wishing the
evil spirits away.
