Sepandarmazgan is the celebration day of Love, Friendship, affection and Earth in ancient Persian culture.
According to Iranian tradition, the day of Sepandarmazgan was held in the Great Persian Empire in the 20th century BC. This day is registered on Bahman 29th in the Iranian Calendar, only 3 days After Valentine. Also Sepandarmaz is Earth Guardian Angel. It is the symbol of humbleness, it means modest toward the entire creation. These are the qualities attributed to Earth that spreads beneath our feet, thus the symbol of modesty and love.
Persians have a rich culture with many great feasts based on natural occasions that have been mixed up with happiness & joy.
On such an auspicious day, women were relieved of household chores and men would take charge of housework instead to learn more about the importance of the big responsibilities women shoulder in their lives, develop an understanding of women’s status and their position and express thankfulness for what women usually take care of.
In the heavenly court she sits next to Ahura Mazda and sees about the affairs of the Earth. According to Avesta when farmers work on soil and look after cattle or when a child is born, Sepandarmaz joyfully blesses them. In contrast she is offended on seeing evil people walking on the earth, but she bears and endures them and that is why she is the symbol of patience.
According to mythological history of Iran and Sassanid texts, a war breaks between Iran and Turan under the reign of Manouchehr. The Turanian king Afrasiab deprives Iranians from water. To nullify his action, and to save Iranians Sepandarmaz appears to him as a beautiful maiden clad in a majestic robe. Afrasiab falls in love with her and woo her. Sepandarmaz forces him to let water flow in Iranshahr and being assured that Iranians are saved she goes back to the heart of the earth.
In the feast of Sepandarmazgan, Earth was worshiped and women venerated. On this day, Women and girls sat on the throne and men and boys had to obey them and bring them presents and gifts. In this way, men were reminded to acclaim and respect women.
