On December 17, 2016, members of the Iranian-American Community of North Texas (IACNT) gathered to celebrate Yalda, the longest night of the year. Persians have traditionally celebrated this night by reading poetry (Hafez), dancing and singing. Certain fruits are essential to this night. Traditionally, watermelons and pomegranates are served in such gatherings. Old Persians believed that if you could make it through the longest night of the year, you would overcome darkness and coldness of the winter and the sun will shine in the morning.
