Coinciding with the launch of spring, Nowruz symbolizes hope for peace, for an end to violence, and for reuniting with friends and family and marks a new beginning for people around the world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806693\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nowruz is celebrated through a variety of traditions, including by the Kurds, who gather in the countryside to light bonfires, which represent passing from the darkness of the previous year into the light of the next; the Persians, who set the haft-seen table and exchange gifts; and the Central Asians, who plant trees and attend festivities marking the occasion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806694\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wish a joyful celebration and sweet, sweet success in 2017 to all Canadians observing Nowruz. </p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"4806695\">[<em>Member spoke in Persian as follows:</em>]</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806696\" data-originallang=\"en\"> <em> Noruzetan Pyruz.</em> </p>",

Cette semaine marque pour eux le Nouvel An, qui co\u00efncide avec le d\u00e9but du printemps. Norouz symbolise l'espoir de voir na\u00eetre la paix et dispara\u00eetre la violence. C'est une occasion de r\u00e9unification des amis et des familles et un nouveau d\u00e9part pour les peuples de la terre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4806693\" data-originallang=\"en\">Norouz est c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 dans diverses traditions, y compris parmi les Kurdes, qui se rassemblent \u00e0 la campagne pour y allumer des feux de joie repr\u00e9sentant le passage de la noirceur de l'ann\u00e9e qui se termine \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re de celle qui commence. Les Perses pr\u00e9parent la table du Haft Sin et s'\u00e9changent des cadeaux.
