Yalda Night
Yalda Night, celebrated on the winter solstice (usually December 21), is an ancient Persian tradition that marks the longest night of the year. Families gather to read poetry, eat special foods like pomegranates and watermelon, and stay up late to welcome the return of longer daylight hours.
