Episode 128: Setting Sofreh

Episodes 101-200

Setting a sofreh or special table setting is the first step in honoring the ancient traditions of our ancestors on several holidays. In this week’s episode, Bita and Beata dive into what goes on each of the sofrehs, what they represent, and also common themes amongst them. These happy occasions include the following seasonal transitions and also when people get married:

 Norouz/Norooz | the Persian New Year with setting a haftsin; 

Mehregan | celebration of fall and special setting 

Yalda | the Persian winter solstice celebration

Sofreh aghd | Persian wedding setting
