Haft Sin or the 7 'S's is a major traditional table setting of Nowruz,
the traditional Iranian spring celebration.
The haft sin table includes 7 items starting with the letter 'S' or
Sin in the Persian alphabet. The Haft Sin items are:
sabzeh - wheat, barley or lentil sprouts growing in a dish,
symbolizing rebirth
samanu - a sweet pudding made from wheat germ,
symbolizing affluence
senjed - the dried fruit of the oleaster tree,
symbolizing love
sir - garlic, symbolizing medicine
sib - apples, symbolizing beauty and health
somaq - sumac berries, symbolizing the color of sunrise
serkeh - vinegar, symbolizing age and patience
the traditional Iranian spring celebration.
