Yalda night or Shab-e Cheleh is one of the oldest Iranian celebrations.
Yalda is the time between sunset on December 20 (the last day of autumn) and sunrise on January 1 (the first day of winter).
On Yalda night, Iranian families usually prepare and serve a sumptuous dinner as well as a variety of fruits, most commonly watermelon and pomegranate. After serving snacks, reading Shahnameh, telling stories to other family members, as well as fortune-telling with Hafezs court are common.
