Ancient Norooz tradition



The Persian word kharafsatar refers to (means): the insects and small animals which were considered to be harmful (such as mice, fleas, flies, and snakes). In ancient times it was considered a good deed to exterminate, and keep away (as much as possible) such animals from the people's habitat (including the tradition of this awareness and effort, in the time of the New Year, Norooz).
