Novruz 2010, Azerbaijan - 1

Novruz - is eastern New year and celebrated in many countries. Azerbaijan being the country where this holiday originates from is the richest country with Novruz symbols, features, elements, traditions, hymns and so on. It is enough to mention that Azerbaijani Novruz is welcomed a month earlier with the Tuesdays. There are four TUESDAYS - Water Tuesday, Fire Tuesday, Wind Tuesday and Land Tuesday each being symbols of the reason of existence. Each Tuesday is celebrated in every Azerbaijani family as wonderfully as the holiday date itself - 20-21 March when the day and night equals in length being evidence to the coming new cycle - new year. It is surprising how people of the land of fire - Azerbaijan could count it so precisely three milleniums earlier that is the estimation of Novruz's - Azerbaijani and eastern new year's shortest age.

Many relate the holiday to Persians and Zaratushtra but in fact it started to be called Novruz - New day - in Persian only after Sassanid invasions. The Turkic nations who remained away from Persian rule still call it Yeni Yil - that means New Year in TURKIC.
