Happy Nowruz!
Haft-Seen is a traditional Persian table setting for Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, which coincides with the spring equinox. The arrangement includes seven items that start with the letter "S" (س) in the Persian alphabet, each symbolizing a different hope or theme for the new year. These typically include:

1. **Sabzeh** (سبزه) - Wheat, barley, or lentil sprouts growing in a dish, symbolizing rebirth and renewal.
2. **Samanu** (سمنو) - A sweet pudding made from wheat germ, representing affluence and fertility.
3. **Senjed** (سنجد) - Dried oleaster fruit, signifying love and compassion.
4. **Seer** (سیر) - Garlic, denoting medicine and health.
5. **Seeb** (سیب) - Apples, standing for beauty and health.
6. **Somāq** (سماق) - Sumac berries, representing the color of sunrise and the victory of good over evil.
7. **Serkeh** (سرکه) - Vinegar, symbolizing age and patience.
