Yalda Night


Today we are learning about the Winter Solstice.  We are celebrating Yalda Night, a Persian solstice festival. It is a very ancient tradition and sees the rising sun of the first day of winter as a symbol of good winning over evil. Pomegranates and other winter fruit are part of the celebrations, so we will be making a card decorated with a pomegranate (and lots of sparkles).
