Shab-e Yalda

Shab-e Yalda is an ancient Persian festival celebrated on the longest and darkest night of the year, which falls on the winter solstice (around December 21). The word “Yalda” means birth, symbolizing the birth of the sun, as from this night onward, the days begin to grow longer, marking the victory of light over darkness.
