A little about Yalda night
Yalda night, or Cheleh night, is one of the oldest Iranian festivals, which is celebrated with great enthusiasm on the last night of autumn, as the longest night of the year. Yalda Night or Cheleh Night is one of the ancient Iranian celebrations, just like Chaharbansuri and Nowruz Eid, which starts from the sunset of the last day of autumn and ends with the sunrise on the first day of winter.
Yalda night, both before and after Islam, has a special place in Iranian culture, and it has always been considered as an incentive for the gathering of distant and near relatives, a blessed table round; An issue that provides a basis for more communication and a stronger bond between families.
On the eve of Yalda night, indescribable passion arises between Iranian families; Because they want to prepare themselves for this night. Undoubtedly, buying nuts and fruits such as watermelon and pomegranate is one of the first things that Iranians do on this night.
The history of Yalda night
Yalda night is also known by names such as Shab Cheleh, Invincible Khurshid, Milad Mehr, etc., which is called the last night of autumn and the longest night of the year. Holding the Yalda night ceremony among Iranians is more than seven thousand years old; In fact, our ancestors discovered that the first night of winter is the longest night of the year. Although in any period of Iran’s history, governments did not see the need to hold this night; Iranians have had Yalda pass for a long time.
People of ancient times were engaged in animal husbandry and agriculture and adjusted their lives based on nature; So that the change of season and the shortness or length of night and day had a significant impact on their lives. Therefore, they attached special importance to the light, warmth and length of the days and considered it good and pleasant; But winter, cold and long nights were not very pleasant for them.
In Mehr ritual, the last night of autumn is considered as the birthday of the sun; When Izadmehr emerges from a cave in the Alborz mountains in the darkness of a long and cold night and brings the bright sun. Shab Cheleh is actually the night of the birth and emergence of the sun. In the book “From Myth to History” it is quoted by Dr. Mehrdad Bahar:
Yalda night is not the birthday of Mehr or Mitra; Rather, it is the birth of the sun. Mehr has differences with the sun.
According to the calendar of the ancient Iranian people, Chaleh coincides with the night of the sun’s birthday, and even though the sun and the moon are closely related, they are not the same. After the Iranians converted to Zoroastrianism, the customs of Mehr became a part of Zoroastrianism.
According to what is stated in the book of Atar al-Baqiyya, Zoroastrians considered the first day of Day as “Khorrooz” or the same as the day of the sun, and called the celebration held on this day “Nudrouz”; Because the time period from Yalda night to Nowruz Eid was 90 days. According to the contents of Masoudi’s law book, the first day of January was called “Kherroz” or “Khorramroz” and was attributed to Ahura Mazda. When the Zoroastrian religion was introduced as the official religion of the country in the Sassanid era, the importance of the seal ritual in government institutions and in people’s lives was still evident; This is clearly visible in the remaining motifs from this era.
According to a long-standing tradition in the Mehr religion, upon the arrival of the 1st day of Iran, the Iranian kings would leave the royal throne, wear white clothes, go to the desert and sit on a white carpet. Palace guards and servants were free on this day and lived like others.
In this way, everyone from the king to the common people had the same position and no one had the right to order others. In addition, it was forbidden to shed the blood of even sheep and chickens and to fight on this day. The enemy forces of Iran, who were aware of this issue, temporarily stopped fighting and killing, which sometimes led to a long peace.
The people of ancient Iran used to gather together to respect “Ahura Mazda” and “Mehr” and eat, drink and be happy. A table named “Miazd” (meaning host) was spread on this night, where there were fruits of the season, dried fruits and nuts, which in Zoroastrian terms, is called “Lork”. Prayer tools such as incense burners, censers, incense burners, etc. were also placed on this table.
After the spread of the Mehr religion in Europe, Yalda night or Cheleh night ceremony was held on the occasion of the birth of Mehr and Noor, and even after the spread of Christianity, the customs of this ritual remained in the lives of the people and among the Romans. Until 350 AD, different sects of Christianity decided to introduce the sixth day of January as the birthday of Christ (PBUH); But due to the influence of the seal ritual, the Roman Church was forced to put the birthday of Jesus Christ (PBUH) on the same day as the birthday of Mithra or Mehr, so that the celebration of the seal ritual was forgotten.
