*The Iranian calendar (also known as the Jalaali Calendar) is a solar calendar currently used in Iran and Afghanistan. It is observation-based, rather than rule-based, beginning each year on the vernal equinox as precisely determined by astronomical observations from Tehran. The Iranian calendar was legally adopted by the Persian Parliament on March 31st, 1925, specifying the adaptation of the calendar from its Zoroastrian origins to the numbering of the year which is representative of the year of Mohammad’s migration from Mecca to Media in 622 CE; the Zoroastrian origins of this is a celebration of the first day of spring, that the year is the “true solar” year “as it has been”, and specifying the month names and the number of days in each month. ON March 21st the year 1384 will officially end and 1385 will begin.
