On New Year's day itself, everyone should wear new clothes, and should have ready the "Ha'ft Seen" that is a table decorated with seven traditional items the names of which in Iranian language begin with "Seen" or the letter "S". Among the most popular are:

In addition, there should be a dish of greens, which usually consist of freshly sprouted wheat or lentils, grown in a dish or tray, symbol of rejuvenation of life. In addition to these traditional items, the table may also be decorated with candles, milk, cheese, eggs colored and painted, cakes and sweetmeats and goldfish in a bowl. The goldfish is believed to be a sign of unexpected favors that will be received. The period of Now-Rooz festivities extends for two weeks, and its end is marked by the celebration of the thirteenth day (Si'zdah). This is a public holiday, and on that day families traditionally take their samovars and rugs out into the country side and enjoy a picnic.
