Part of the ancient tradition is to prepare a ‘Seven Cs’ table, or design the New Year table with Seven specific items (green grass, coin, sumac, vinegar, garlic, germinating wheat dish, Elaeagnaceae plant fruit) that starts with ‘C’ in Persian language, Farsi. Each one of these is representative of the God blessing for human.
On the New Year table, Iranian also put a goldfish in a bowl and a mirror, which is a symbol of beauty and vitality. The pictures show that even the West sanctions against Iran could not stop people from a lot of joy and passion of shopping for the New Year.
