Happy Norooz!

On Sunday, March 20 people all over the world will celebrate Norooz.  Norooz is an important Persian holiday.  Many people clean their homes very well -- some shake it up so much that they get new furniture -- to prepare for the party.  The party is always exactly at the time of the equinox that marks the beginning of spring.  Although many Americans don't know about Norooz, the Obama family celebrates it.  Our traditions of spring cleaning and easter eggs may come from Norooz.
