This Tuesday, also known as "Torpag Charshanbasi" - "Tuesday of the Earth," is marked with particular splendor. Celebrations, which last the whole day, reach their peak in the evening.
Celebrating the "Tuesday of the Earth," our ancestors gave tribute to mother earth, its wealth, and bounty. This day is full of rituals that symbolize prosperity in the coming year, end of hardships and troubles.
As on previous Tuesdays, this Tuesday, people usually make bonfires and jump over them. There is a belief that by jumping over fire, a person leaves his troubles and disappointments in it. It is forbidden to put out the fire; it must go out by itself. On the last Tuesday, it is customary to say only good words.
According to ancient folk customs, salt, water, money, bread, matches, and kerosene should not be given from home on this day. In houses, candles are lit according to the number of family members.
Also, according to popular beliefs, the last Tuesday before Novruz should be spent at home so that during the year, a person would not be separated from his home and his relatives for a long time.
