Novruz holiday is one of our most important celebrations that preserves ancient traditions and symbolizes abundance and joy of life. The Novruz tray prepared in every home also reflects these meanings.
Medianews.az reports that the tray usually includes wheat sprouts as a symbol of spring and life. Painted eggs represent the symbol of life and birth, while sugar pastries and baklava express wishes for happiness and a sweet life.
Walnuts, hazelnuts, oranges, and other nuts symbolize health and abundance.
Grains show hospitality and fertility. The water container on the tray symbolizes purity and the continuity of life, and ancient symbols recall customs associated with bonfire and fire ceremonies.
Thus, the Novruz tray is not only a beautiful feast but also a symbol of residence, health, abundance, and the call of spring. This tray in every home both keeps the spirit of the holiday alive and symbolizes good wishes and blessings for the coming year.
