Sadeh is an ancient Persian festival celebrated 50 days before Nowruz, the Persian New Year. Rooted in Zoroastrian traditions, it honors fire as a sacred symbol of light, warmth, and purity. Sadeh marks the discovery of fire by humans and represents the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

The festival revolves around lighting a massive bonfire, bringing families and communities together to ward off the winter cold and bless the earth for the arrival of spring. People gather to offer prayers, share feasts of nuts, dried fruits, and sweets, and tell stories, such as the legend of King Hushang discovering fire.

Sadeh is not just a celebration of fire—it’s a time of unity, generosity, and gratitude, reminding everyone of the importance of light, nature, and togetherness.
