Navroz literally means a new day and marks the start of the Iranian new year. Besides Zoroasters, Muslims in different parts of the world also celebrate this festival.
The significance of this year’s 21 March is multiple as people from different faith are celebrating different religious festivals. On 21 March Christian celebrates Good Friday, Muslim Eid Milad u Nabi and Novroz, Hidu Holi, Jewish Purim, Bahai Naw-Ruz, and Zoroastrian Jamshedi Noruz.
Navroz is an age old tradition dating back to the Assyrians bringing gifts to their Achaemenid King. The Fatimid Imams adopted this local tradition and gave it grandeur with their elaborate processions and participation by all, when they expanded the Caliphate from Egypt to include Persia. Since then, this new year tradition of the first day of spring, has remained with Ismailies and spread across the continents.

Omer Khayam recorded this in ‘Nawroznama’ that on the
day of Navroz, the Chief priest of Zoraostrian would
call on the Persian King and say:
“O Majesty, on this feast of the Equinox, first day of
the first month of the year (Navroz),
seeing that thou hast freely chosen God and the Faith
of the Ancient ones;
may Surush, the Angel-messenger, grant thee wisdom and
insight and sagacity in thy affairs.
Live long in praise, be happy and fortunate upon thy
golden throne, drink immortality from the Cup of
Jamshid; and keep in solemn trust the customs of our
ancestors, their noble aspirations, fair gestes and
the exercise of justice and righteousness.
May thy soul flourish; may thy youth be as the
new-grown grain; may thy horse be puissant,
victorious; thy sword bright and deadly against foes;
thy hawk swift against its prey; thy every act
straight as the arrow’s shaft.
Go forth from thy rich throne, conquer new lands.
Honor the craftsman and the sage in equal degree;
disdain the acquisition of wealth.
May thy house prosper and thy life be long!”
