7 Sin, a photo from Tehran, East

Photographer's Note

"7 Sin" returns to a traditional table in Iran which people set it up on the first day of Persian new year. "7 Sin" is consist of 7 things starting with "S" in Persian language.

Sir : Garlic
Sib : Apple
Sabze : Greenery
Somagh : Sumac
Samanoo : Some kind of malt
Senjed : Oleaster
Sekke : Coin

Except of these Red fish (Symbol of life) & holly books are inseperable from "7 Sin", Some people even leave "Shahname"(Iranian ancient poetry book) on 7 Sin table...

Hope you like it.

Shahab.

Hi Shahab,

It's true what they say that every single day we learn something new.
I had no idea about this tradition. And what an interesting thing!! (do I like it more because 7 is my lucky number??)
I like your pov in this photo. The shapes and colors make it so vivid!

Thank you very much!!
