New Year celebrations for Christians in Iran are different from those of Christians in other parts of the world. In Iran, the Christian culture has been mixed with the Iranian culture.
Among the New Year traditions of Iranian Christians is eating foods exclusive to Iran.
Many Armenians in Iran cook and eat Sabzi Polo with Fish (Persian herbed rice with white fish) on the eve of the New Year. This is the same food Iranians eat on the day before the new Iranian year.
