#Nature_Day in Iran:
A happy ending of #Noruz celebration
✳️The first 12 days of the year are very important, because they symbolize order in the world and in the lives of people. The 13th day marks the beginning of the return to ordinary daily life. It is customary on this day, for families to pack for a picnic and go to a park or the countryside. It is believed that joy and laughter clean the mind from all evil thoughts, and a picnic is usually a festive, happy event.
Asking for rain on (Sizdah-bedar) is also believed to be a special day to ask for rain.
✅In ancient Iran, every day had its own name, and belonged to a different “yazat” (Zoroastrian deity). The 13th day of month of Farvardin denoted to the deity of rain, Tir, which is depicted as a horse.
🏞Sizdah-bedar is also a day for competitive games, involving horses were often chosen as a victory of a horse represented, the deity of rain. In Zoroastrian cosmology there was a mythical river out of which all rivers flow. Clouds also took up rain from the same mythical river.
🔷🔸Every year Tishtrya goes to the river in shape of a white stallion to fight the Demon of Dearth, appearing in shape of a black stallion.
