[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
“Atash” means Fire.
IRANIAN believe on holy fire. So on the last Wednesday of each year (14-March-2007) all families made a fire and only jump on it. They repeat this sentence "My Yellowish is from you, your Reddish is from me". This means " Fire, take all my illness and sadness and give me all your happiness and health".

Nice colors. That tree looks like a hand. Please expand your description and recheck it! (HOLY FIRE);)

supose they jump OVER it.

Hello Majid,
Nice capture. You are talking about a tradation here but I can not see the people jumping on it. It could be more intersting. We also say "atash" it comes from your language :)
Thanks for sharing
best regards

Hi Majid,

that´s wonderful ... it´s some kind of abstract ... the piece of wood looks like a hand!

We do the same jumping over fire at June 21 (beginning of summer) in Austria ...

Hi Majid,

Very helpful note and photo. Thank you for sharing this tradition with us here on TrekEarth. I've posted a photo of my city's observance of this fire festival tonight in the U.S.A.

Thank you for sharing this!
José
