13 Bedar Picnic

Sunday, April 6, 2008

Harms woods Forest Preserve, Grove #5 On Harms Road, North of Golf, South of Old Orchard, Glenview.

Join friends and family for a picnic, music, food, dancing and games.
Seezdah Bedar is the last holiday of the long Norooz break and is a day filled with relaxation and fun outdoors.

Seezdah means 13 and Bedar means away or out. Iranians consider 13 to be an unlucky number and so for this reason, they spend the 13th day of the New Year outside the home. Seezdah-Bedar is in essence a national picnic that is celebrated with everyone going to parks, hills and mountainsides to spend the day with nature, wishing the evil spirits away. For information contact Iran House of Greater Chicago at 847-673-0614.
