Come celebrate the annual Fire Festival and help usher in the NEW YEAR – NOWRUZ with bone fires,
Ashe reshteh, music, dancing and friendship
New Location: Harms woods Forest Preserve, Grove #5 On Harms Road, North of Golf, South of Old Orchard
On the eve of the Wednesday before Nowruz, Iranians celebrate Chahar Shanbeh Suri. This is commonly known as the
Wednesday Feast or the Festival of the last Wednesday as it is always celebrated on the eve of the last Wednesday
of the year. The festivities start in the early evening. The main event of Chahar-Shanbeh Suri is the setting of seven
little fires consisting of dried bushes and shrubs, which are placed on the ground. Adults and children alike gather
to jump over the flames to sing, and celebrate the renewal of life. While jumping the flames, the person chants
“Sorkhi-e to az man. Zardi-e man az to.” The literal translation is, “Your fiery red color is mine and my sickly
yellow paleness is yours.” Loosely translated, this means you want the fire to take your paleness, sickness and
problems and in turn give you redness, warmth and energy. Chahar Shanbeh Suri is a cultural festival for all Iranians.
