Yalda night: Family reunion to safeguard originally Iranian traditions

The exhibition of preserving the national traditions of Yalda night was held in the historical and touristic city of Tabriz, the capital of East Azarbaijan province.

Yalda is the last night of the fall and the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere, as of which days get longer and nights shorter. As is the custom in Iran, families get together to cheer and chatter, eat and read poems until dawn.
