Iranians marked annual "Chahar Shanbeh Soori" Iranian fire festival

Iranian youths are dancing together during the annual "Chahar Shanbeh Soori" which is also known as the fire festival, in northwestern Tehran, March 12, 2024. Every year on the eve of the last Wednesday before the Persian New Year (Nowruz), Iranians celebrate Chahar Shanbeh Soori, also known as the "Fire Festival." This ancient tradition, rooted in Zoroastrianism, signifies the triumph of light over darkness and purification for the coming year.
