The IrNUT (Iranian Network at the University of Twente) is thrilled to extend a warm invitation to all students, faculty, and staff for our Yalda Night celebration!
You’re invited to the Yalda Night celebration, honoring a 6000-year-old Iranian tradition. Considered the longest night of the year, Yalda Eve is the night when Iranians celebrate the birth of Mithra, the goddess of light. On this day, the sun was salvaged from the claws of the darkness; gradually spread its rays all over the world to symbolize the triumph of good over evil. Get ready for a night of joy, warmth, and enchantment filled with:
🥂 Welcome drinks and snacks: Kick off the night with a welcome drink and enjoy Yalda-themed treats and our tasty snacks.
🎶 Music & Dancing: Get ready to dance under the Yalda Night sky as we play music that will lift your spirits and make the celebration unforgettable.
🔮 Yalda Fortune Telling: Experience the magic of ‘Yalda Fortune Telling.’, drawing inspiration from the poetry of Hafiz.
📆 Date: 21 Dec 2023
🕕 Time: 19-22
📍 Location: De Vluchte, Oldenzaalsestraat 153a
Your presence at this cultural celebration will undoubtedly enhance the joy and warmth of the night. Please register before the deadline to secure your place at this memorable event.
