What festival is Red Wednesday in Iran?
The last Wednesday of the Iranian solar calendar is Iran's traditional national festival "Red Wednesday", so foreigners are used to calling it "Fire Jumping Festival".

The Fire Jumping Festival has a history of more than two thousand years in Iran. Its origin can be traced back to Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion widely spread in Persia, commonly known as Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrianism in China.

On the last Tuesday night before the Iranian New Year, many Iranians will light bonfires at their doorsteps or on the streets, and skip the bonfires, indicating that they will burn their "bad luck", usher in the light, drive away evil spirits and diseases, and enjoy happiness forever.
