Event 12/18/08 - Shabeh Yalda: Celebration of the Winter Solstice
(From the Facebook posting by PSOM
"The Persian Student Organization of Minnesota & Iran’s House of Art are hosting a Shabeh Yalda event in honor of the ancient Iranian celebration of the winter solstice.
In the spirit of Shabeh Yalda, we will celebrate the longest night of the year by reciting poetry, enjoying live classical music, & eating delicious Persian food (aasheh reshteh-noodle & lentil soup, pomegranates, watermelon, dried nuts, sweets, & tea).
If anyone would like to bring Persian Poetry books & is interested in reciting, please feel free to do so. We hope you will all choose to be a part of this unique opportunity to socialize & learn about Iranian culture.
This is a FREE event & will start at 6:30 pm sharp!"
