Happy Yalda🍉🍷 Persian Yalda (also known as Shab-e Yalda or Shab-e Chelleh) is an ancient Iranian festival celebrated on the winter solstice, typically December 20 or 21—the longest night of the year. It marks the triumph of light over darkness, symbolizing the "rebirth" of the sun as days begin to lengthen afterward. Rooted in pre-Islamic Zoroastrian traditions honoring Mithra (the sun god), it later incorporated the Syriac word "Yalda" meaning "birth." Families gather to stay up late, sharing

SheivA on Instagram‎: "Yalda Night is the longest night of the year, celebrated by Iranians as a symbol of light overcoming darkness. On this night, families and friends gather together, eat pomegranates and watermelon, read poetry—especially Hafez—and stay up late to welcome longer, brighter days ahead. Yalda is about togetherness, hope, and remembering that after the darkest night, light always returns ✨🍉 How was the night? My yalda outfit items: Pants @hm Vest @jeyran_artgallery Shoes @mango
