The origin of No Ruz
Legend has it that long, long ago, a mighty and glorious King named Jamshid ruled over Persia. Jamshid taught his people the arts of weaving, mining, building, and making arms. He then defeated the hideous demon hosts. Once defeated, the demons were reduced to slaves for the benefit of mankind. Jamshid ordered the demons to build him a special carriage. Once the carriage was ready, to the amazement and joy of all the people, the monsters lifted it into the air and Jamshid rode the carriage from Demavand to Babylon. This special day was called No Ruz (the New Day), and has since been made in to an annual celebration.
