Welcome to our special episode celebrating Novruz, the national holiday of Azerbaijan! In this video, you'll see us cooking with the U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Mark Libby, and his spouse Danusiya, as we join in traditional rituals and customs. Get ready for some festive fun and enjoy the celebration with us!

Novruz is a cherished and significant holiday for the Azerbaijani people, deeply rooted in their culture and history. It marks the arrival of spring on March 20-21, which also signals the beginning of the New Year. Its origins go way back to old customs and rituals connected to spirits, nature worship, and fertility beliefs. Novruz, an ancient spring festival, is one of Azerbaijan's oldest and most beautiful traditions.

Novruz in Azerbaijan has always been about celebrating the rebirth of nature, goodness, and fairness. It's mainly about honoring the Sun and its representation on Earth, Fire. In the month leading to Novruz, every Tuesday is dedicated to celebrating the four elements of nature: water, fire, earth, and air (or wind), with the last one, known as "Akhir Charshanba," signaling the start of spring when leaves start budding. People get busy cleaning their homes, planting trees, making new clothes, painting eggs, and baking traditional pastries like shekarbura, pakhlava, and shorgoghal, along with various national dishes.

According to some sources, Novruz has an ancient history dating back 3500-5000 years, related to the time of the prophet Zardush. Novruz is a time for families to come together, enjoy a rich meal the night before the holiday, and welcome the New Year. It's also a time for big gatherings, festivals, and folk music concerts. The celebrations last for several days, ending with lively public dancing and other fun activities.

    American here, Arkansas, specifically. I'm so happy to see this! Everything was so beautiful, and meaningful. I have a deep appreciation for other cultures, and I've been watching your videos for a long time. I know maybe a lot of non-Americans may see us as...I don't know, pick something! WE are all human, and no matter what you see on the news in the World Stage of politics and propaganda, I'm not alone when I say this, and I'm sure your AdSense and YouTube Analytics agree, there are a lot of us in the US watching, and enjoying, and appreciating you, what you're doing, and your culture. Wishing you and your folks a Happy Novruz, from Arkansas!

  • As being a Turkish citizen , I love watching your videos and also feel very close to Azerbaycan people as I understand their Azeri Turkish language. This makes me very happy and proud as being from the family. The US Ambassadour couple is nice and they have good sense of humour. If their government would not interfere the nations over the globe , world would be more happy and beautiful in piece. This Ambassodour couple gives hope for a change.

    That Ambassador was good he was able to talk to them in native tongue and really enjoyed himself, I love places like this that keep old traditions alive so many have thrown them away over time, It was soo good to see classic Azervbaijan culture. As Always it was Super.
