Chaharshanbe Suri is an ancient Persian festival marking the eve of the last Wednesday before the Persian New Year (Nowruz).
According to ancient traditions, jumping over burning bushes was a way of honoring this ritual. However, in recent years, the use of strong fireworks and explosives on this night has led to casualties.
