One of my favorite characters is humorous Haji-firuz. Weeks before the end of the year and even shortly after the announcement of the Persian New Year, he comes telling all that spring is in the air.He wears fiery red satin costume, dark-make up and plays his tambourine and trumpets. He wanders all streets and people give him a gift or money for bringing such a good news.He dances like a snake, up and down with wavy movements. As he dances, he sings a very funny song. He is jokey because his mission is to make people delighted. He thinks if one is blissful in the spring, happiness will be continued for the rest of the year.His fiery red satin outfit which symbolizes the fire encourages people to burn their old habits and old stuff in the fire and to revive themselves.http://www.labkhand.com/createcard1.asp?PostCardID=436
