Many young freedom fighters and local residents are hoping to extend the protest actions and resistance to the regime forces till Tuesday night when millions of Iranians will come into the streets in order to transform their banned cultural heritage "Tchahar Shanbe Soori" (Fire Fiest) into a nightmare for the dogmatic Islamic clerics. Tchahar Shanbe Soori will place an unprecedented pressure on the regime forces and will show their inability to control the situation when actions are widely spread in all Iranian cities.

Due to the fact that Tehran has very bad pollution, if it is possible, would be very nice the rich people in Tehran buy the old cars from poor people in Tehran and set them in fire for a Chahar Shanbe Soori to be remembered. It will be good for reducing Tehran's pollution and Mullahs will have heart attack. |

Superb idea - Iranian rich buy lowsy old Euro Cars in Tehran and other cities from poor and burn these 30 year old cars safely without causing any harm and improve Tehran's pollution for Persian New Year. This is my wish from my fellow Iranian people for this coming Chahar Shanbe Soori. This is very much within the Spirit of Chahar Shanbe Soori (Festival of Fire ). This is also a message to the EU Big 3 for policy change Now to support Freedom-loving Iranian people......
People leap over the flames, shouting:
(Sorkhi-e to az man) Give me your beautiful red color
(Zardi-e man az to) And take back my sickly pallor!
******************************************************
The Nowrouz holiday season includes several symbolic and meaningful celebrations and rituals begining with the last Wednesday of the year, called the Chahar Shanbeh Soori (translation yields "Wednesday Fire").
On Tuesday evening (the night before the last Wednesday) every family celebrates the Chahar Shanbeh Soori. At the center of this traditional celebration is giving thanks for the fortune of having made it through another healthy year and to exchange any remaining paleness and evil with the life and warmth of the fire. Chahar Shanbeh Soori is deeply rooted in Iranians' Zoroastrian past (Persian people's dominant religion prior to Islam). The part of this night especially popular with the youngsters is the bonfire. Every family gathers several piles of wood or brush to be lit shortly after the sunset.

Festival of Fire or "Chahar Shanbeh Soori"
By: Massoume Price, December 2001
ast Wednesday of the year (Chahar Shanbeh Soori): On the eve of last Wednesday of the year, literally the eve of Red Wednesday or the eve of celebration, bonfires are lit in public places with the help of fire and light, it is hoped for enlightenment and happiness throughout the coming year. People leap over the flames, shouting:
(Sorkhi-e to az man) Give me your beautiful red color
(Zardi-e man az to) And take back my sickly pallor!
With the help of fire and light symbols of good, we hope to see our way through this unlucky night - the end of the year- to the arrival of springs longer days. Traditionally, it is believed that the living were visited by the spirits of their ancestors on the last day of the year. Many people specially children, wrap themselves in shrouds symbolically reenacting the visits. By the light of the bonfire, they run through the streets banging on pots and pans with spoons called Gashog-Zani to beat out the last unlucky Wednesday of the year, while they knock on doors to ask for treats. Indeed, Halloween is a Celtic variation of this night.
In order to make wishes come true, it is customary to prepare special foods and distribute them on this night.
Noodle Soup a filled Persian delight, and mixture of seven dried nuts and fruits, pistachios, roasted chic peas, almond, hazelnuts, figs, apricots, and raisins.
The ancient Iranians celebrated the last 10 days of the year in their annual obligation feast of all souls, Hamaspathmaedaya (Farvardigan or popularly Forodigan). They believed Foruhars (fravagar), the guardian angles for humans and also the spirits of dead would come back for reunion. These spirits were entertained as honored guests in their old homes, and were bidden a formal ritual farewell at the dawn of the New Year. The ten-day festival also coincided with festivals celebrating the creation of fire and humans. In Sasanian period the festival was divided into two distinct pentads, known as the lesser and the greater Pentad, or Panji as it is called today. Gradually the belief developed that the 'Lesser Panji' belonged to the souls of children and those who died without sin, whereas 'Greater Panji' was truly for all souls.
Spring housecleaning was carried out and bon fires were set up on the rooftops to welcome the return of the departed souls. Small clay figurines in shape of humans and animals symbolizing all departed relatives and animals were also placed on the rooftops. Zoroastrians today still follow this tradition. Flames were burnt all night to ensure the returning spirits were protected from the forces of Ahriman. This was called Suri festival. There were gatherings in joyful assemblies, with prayers, feasts and communal consumption of ritually blessed food. Rich and poor met together and the occasion was a time of general goodwill when quarrels were made up and friendships renewed.
Iranians today still carry out the spring-cleaning and set up bon fires for only one night on the last Tuesday of the year. Young and old will leap over the fires with songs and gestures of merriment. This festival was not celebrated on this night and in this manner before Islam and might be a combination of different rituals to make them last. Wednesday in Islamic tradition represents a bad omen day with unpleasant consequences. This is contrary to Zoroastrian cosmology where all days were sacred and named after a major deity. By celebrating in this manner Iranians were able to preserve the ancient tradition. The festival is celebrated on Tuesday night to make sure all bad spirits are chased away and Wednesday will pass uneventfully. In rural areas and remote villages flames are still burnt all night on the rooftops and outside the homes, though people have no idea what this is all about.
Today the occasion is accompanied by fire works from locally made firecrackers. There is no religious significance attached to it any more and is a purely secular festival for all Iranians. On the eve before the last Wednesday, bonfires are lit through out the streets and back alleys, or with the more prosperous, inside walled gardens. People leap over the flames while shouting; 'sorkhie tu az man, zardieh man az tu'.
Your fiery red color is mine and my sickly yellow paleness is your. This is a purification rite and 'suri' itself means red and fiery.
The festivities start in the early evening. Children and fun seeking adults, wrap themselves in shrouds symbolically reenacting the visits by the departed spirits. They run through the streets banging on pots and pans with spoons (Gashog-Zani or spoon banging) to beat out the last unlucky Wednesday of the year. They will knock on doors while covered and in disguise and ask for treats. The practices are very similar to Halloween, which is a Celtic version of similar festivals celebrated throughout the area in ancient times.
It is believed that wishes will come true on this night, reminiscent of ancient traditions. Wishes are made and in order to make them come true, it is customary to prepare special foods and distribute them on this night. Noodle soup called 'Ash e Chahar Shanbeh Suri is prepared' and is consumed communally. Every one even strangers passing by will be served with nuts and dried fruits. This treat is called 'Ajeel e Chahar Shanbeh Suri' and is a mixture of seven dried nuts and fruits, pistachios, roasted chic peas, almond, hazelnuts, figs, apricots, and raisins. Local variations apply and the mixture is different according to the location and the group celebrating it.
People who have made wishes will stand at the corner of an intersection, or hide behind walls to listen to conversation by passerby's. If there is anything positive and optimistic in the conversation, the belief is that the wish will come true or there is good fortune to be expected. This is called Fal-Gush meaning 'listening for one's fortune'. The night will end with more fire works and feasts where family and friends meet and with the more modern Iranians music and dance will follow. Happy Chahar Shanbeh Suri, and may your wishes come true.
Another routine of the Chahar Shanbeh Soori festival is the Iranian version of Trick or Treating associated with the Western Halloween night. Flocks of often young trick or treaters, hidden under a traditional Chador (veil) go from door to door banging a spoon against a metal bowl asking for treats or money.
Another old and almost obsolete Chahar Shanbeh Soori ritual is Falgoosh (fortune hearing!) This ritual was carried out usually by young women wanting to know their chances of finding the "Mr. Right" in the coming year. Falgoosh is the act of standing in a dark corner spot or behind a fence and listening to the conversations of the passers by and trying to interpret their statements or the subject of their dialogue as an answer to one's question(s)! This is analogous to calling a psychic reader to find out your fortune!!!
In the past several decades falgoosh has gradually become an almost unacceptable and "politically incorrect" ritual and is seldom practiced in the major urban areas.
*******************************************************

Chahar Shanbeh Soori literally means, the joy of Wednesday (or the Wednesday Party).
It refers to the last Wednesday of the Persian year. It is actually celebrated on the night before, on Tuesday evening. Planning usually occurs weeks and sometimes months before that. If you ask any Iranian about it, almost all either have participated in it or have observed its celebration, no matter how old or how young they are. It starts with large pile of wood and dry brush that is collected and gathered in one place. It then is spread out into smaller piles and set apart. When the sun sinks in the horizon and the sunlight fades away, these woodpiles are set on fire and people jump over them singing traditional songs, celebrating the fire as a symbol of light and warmth. Small bonfires are lit in the streets on the last Wednesday of the old year (chaharshambeh suri) and people jump over the flames to bring luck for the following year. The Noh Ruz celebrations last for 13 days and are a time for family and close friends.
What they say is very interesting. Among many songs that are read in all parts of Iran, perhaps the most famous one is the one that almost any Iranian is familiar with. In this chant, Iranians ask the fire to give them warmth and energy and to wash aside any weakness from their faces. These words have deep roots in Iranians culture and once more confirm the love and respect that their ancestors had for the symbol of purity and energy which is cardinal to life. This event is the prelude to Noruz. |

Give me your beautiful red color (Sorkhi-e to az man)
And take back my sickly pallor! (Islamists Clerics The Virus of Iranian Society)(Zardi-e man az to)
I am sure Iranian people will try their best to support your great Idea.
The American people did not get their Freedom From British Colonists very easy and without a big fight, Iranian people should also learn from Freedom-Loving American people and prepare for worst and hope for the best . The following painting is capturing the difficult battle between Americans and British. To free our homeland prepare to fight and use all our resources to win our freedom.
On December 25, 1776, General George Washington led his troops in a surprise attack against the British, who had settled into winter quarters in New Jersey. The American forces crossed the Delaware River at night and defeated the British troops first at Trenton and then at Princeton. These victories, although minor, dramatically improved the morale of the American forces.

The only question is whether there's enough momentum with this liberation to continue sweeping out those in power throughout all of Iran... Imagine a full democracy, taken by the people, for the people. Democracy can be a beautiful thing.

|

I think every knowledgable persons contends the following points:
(1)
Peacefull pemonstratons are the full right of Iranian people.
(2)
The use of violence in protests are illigal.
(3)
Demonstrations must not become a tool of foriegn powers.
(4)
The issues broght to demostrations must be discussed in an open
but professional manner between the govenment and the demostration
leaders.
(5)
Iranian should be aware of the foriegn powers propogana and try to clean their regiments of the instigators and spies of foriegn powers. This is a must for the liberal democracy to have any chance in Iran at all. Remember that Russian liberal democrats lost their popularity after the Khodrovsky and Lukes oil misused the openness of new Russian to sell their country to Exon, Mobile and other capitalists. Clearly, in Russia the liberal democrats movement was highjacked by the special interests of foriegn powers. Iran can not afford the heavy hand of foriegn powers to be open in Iran to insite violence and distabilization of our society. |

Listen Though: The Iranian people are angry as hell at the regime and want them removed despite any external forces.. That's the best part! This is not like the days of the shah when many external forces were vieing for is demise, but this is completely different.. The Iranian people want the regime gone - and they will use violence against a violent regime if they must!!!! |

Unrest and clashes continue in N. Iran
SMCCDI (information Service)
Mar 15, 2004
http://www.daneshjoo.org/smccdinews/article/publish/article_4148.shtml
Unrest and violent clashes continued, today and for the 3rd consecutive day, in Fereydoon-Kenar and spreaded to the neighboring cities of Babolsar, Khezer-Shahr and Babol.
Thousands of residents came into the streets especially in Fereydoon-Kenar and resisted to the brutal assaults of the regime forces. Several more demonstrators have been wounded in the today's clashes after the regime heliported special forces opened the charge.
Barricades have been formed and tires set ablaze by the residents who are defended by armed masked young freedom fighters.
All night long, noise of sporadic shootings where heard in the city and a man hunt was organized by the regime forces trying to arrest those involved in the organization of the popular resistance.
Sporadic demos took place in Babolsar, Khezer-Shahr and Babol where the crowd came into the streets by shouting slogans against the regime and its leaders. Road blocks have been instated by the regime forces in order to keep the demonstrators separate .
The situation of the region is very tense and the security measures have been increased in the cities of Amol, Now-Shahr and Chaloos. _________________ Referendum AFTER Regime Change

The Islamic Republic is Looking More Unstable Day by Day
March 15, 2004
Iran va Jahan
Potkin Azarmehr
http://www.iranvajahan.net/cgi-bin/news.pl?l=en&y=2004&m=03&d=15&a=8
The recent events in Fereydoon Kenar are a reflection of the anger felt by the Iranian people and their readiness to overthrow the 25 year old rule of clerics in Iran.
The Islamic authorities in Fereydoon-Kenat, North Iran, declared the results of three polling stations null and void. Such blatant cheating in favour of Meghdad Najaf-Nejad, made the people spontaneously gather on the town's main bridge around 8:00 am on Saturday and shout slogans against the unashamed cheatings.
As the crowds grew and the slogans became more radical, the Law Enforcement Forces(LEF) started opening fire at the protesters with pellet guns. Far from pushing the crowd back, the shooting by LEF made the people angrier and they retaliated. As the crowd became more confident they targeted the Friday Sermon preacher Bakooyi, who was the driving force behind the election frauds in town.
The crowd moved towards Bakooyi's ostentatious residence intent on killing the preacher. At this point they were shouting: "We will make his (Bakooyi) blood flow here, We will make his palace, his grave" "mA injA ro khoon mikonim, ghasresho ghabresh mikonim" and "All the criminals here are in the LEF" har chi injA jAnieh, nirooye entezAmieh".
Bakooyi was lucky not to be in his residence at the time, but one of his cars was completely destroyed and his lavish residence was also damaged.
The Islamic authorities who were unable to control the crowd with the local LEF, brought in the special guards from Tehran, Isfahan, Amol and Babol. Five are reported killed (Three men and two women) and several hundred are wounded so far.
The hardline daily Jomhoori-Eslami, reported the incidence by saying "a throng of thugs marched towards the house of Friday Sermon Preacher of Fereydoon-Kanar but they were pushed back by the LEF. Some have been wounded"
The selected winner of Fereydoon-Kenar 'elections', Meghdad Najaf-Nejad, however either having realised the level of hatred felt by the people or scared of continuing in his position has resigned.
The people of Fereydoon-Kenar have won the first round of battle for free and fair elections in Iran. With the ongoing teachers strike, youth riots during the Shiite mourning periods, and riots in other parts of Iran, the Islamic Republic is looking more unstable day by day. _________________ Referendum AFTER Regime Change
