“Some records show it as being 5,000 years old, but most have agreed on the 3,500-year mark, and it’s a UNESCO-recognized celebration. It’s not religious it’s not ethnic, and that’s why it has so much staying power. The message is just about friendship, family, love, renewal, rebirth, cleansing of the spirit, the home, and relationships,” Cathia Geller said.
“The thing is everyone has to be around the haftseen table which is a kind of a kin to the Christmas tree, so we set that table and everyone gathers around it and the clock ticks and suddenly this fun music starts playing and everyone starts jumping up and down,” Cathia said.
