Happy New Yaer! I have a Persian friend who lives in France who was telling me about Nowruz and some of the festivities, including the fire jumping ritual. Very cool.

Yes the jumping over the fire is one of my favorites, especially as a child, I think its on the last Wednesday of New Year you jump fire to take away the bad luck. Tiny fires now, I'm no Olympian Jumper..I have lots of Persian Family in France..cool!
