(From Iran Zamin):
The traditional herald of the Noe-Rooz season is called Haji Firooz. He symbolizes the rebirth of the Sumerian god of sacrifice, Domuzi, who was killed at the end of each year and reborn at the beginning of the New Year. Wearing black make up and a red costume, Haji Firooz sings and dances through the streets with tambourines and trumpets spreading good cheer and the news of the coming New Year.
Here’s my depiction:
It was a hot day, so me and my gang, we wore short-shorts.
Camille and Jocelyn, they’s classy ladies…
And for the record, Jocelyn fucks me against the wall, not the other way around. She’s a feminist.
