Yalda night or Cheleh night is one of the oldest Iranian celebrations. The festival celebrates the longest night of the year, followed by longer days in the Northern Hemisphere, which coincides with the winter solstice. Another name for this night is "Cheleh", because holding this celebration is an Iranian ritual. Yalda is the time between sunset from 30 Azar (the last day of autumn) to sunrise on the first of January (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 family stories to other family members, as well as divination with Hafez's court are common.
