Now that spring is here, it’s time to say “Happy New Year” to the Persian community.
The occasion, known as Nowruz, is being observed and celebrated around the world. That included the state Capitol, where members of the local Iranian community held a gathering.

A typical celebration involves gift giving and eating a feast.
