History of Mehregan
In
Persian culture, Mehergan is a time to honor love and friendship and
the harvest, a time to renew our commitments to each other and our
community, a time to honor justice and balance.
During
pre-Islamic and early Islamic Iran, Mehrgān was celebrated with the same
magnificence and pageantry as Nowruz. It was customary for people to
send or give their king, and each other, gifts. Rich people usually gave
gold and silver coins, heroes and warriors gave horses while others
gave gifts according to their financial power and ability, even as
simple as an apple. Those fortunate enough would help the poor with
gifts.
