Problem

Norooz, or Persian New Year, is probably the oldest institution cherished by all people of Persian heritage regardless of their ethnicity. Norooz is celebrated in its full glory in Persian households all over America, yet the historic significance of this holiday is rarely acknowledged by the communities in which Persian-Americans live.
